Episode 83: Black Lives Matter

Hosts Kacee Ochalek and Sam Woods sit down with Black Lives Matter activists, Destiny Monae, Darius Smith, and Markasa Tucker. We dive into a topic that has captured the country’s attention yet again: police violence and the movement for Black lives.

To learn more, visit:

• African American Round Table

• Milwaukee Marches

• The New Milwaukee (Peaceful protests for change)

Darius’ action steps include:

1. Get involved & don’t be afraid to be uncomfortable

Destiny’s action steps include:

1. Come join us. And if you don’t want to march and you don’t want your voice to sound like mine: drop off materials such as goggles, water, food, whatever you want to do. Share that we’re doing great things. When you see positive videos share them, like them, get them out of the public so we can change the narrative. 

Markasa’s action steps include:

1. Follow the African American Round Table Facebook Page for political education lessons and ways to learn and get involved in Juneteenth day.
