View in browser This moment in America with Trymaine Lee & Mariame Kaba Three weeks after the murder of George Floyd, protests against systemic racism continue to sweep the nation, along with demands to "defund the police." Many voices have emerged to help make sense of this pivotal moment in American society, and this week, we're highlighting two in particular. First, if you listen to anyone about this time of rage and grief and action, make it Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Trymaine Lee. From his origins reporting on police and crime in Philadelphia to his nights covering Ferguson in 2014 to his Emmy Award-winning work on the lasting trauma of the violence in Chicago, Lee offers a raw and insightful perspective on this national moment of protest in "8 minutes 46 seconds with Trymaine Lee." We also can't think of a better time to re-release a 2019 conversation with prison abolitionist Mariame Kaba on how to radically rethink our approach to public safety. In "REVISITED: Abolishing Prisons with Mariame Kaba," she asks: what if we got rid of prisons? The United States is the epicenter of mass incarceration – but what is it that we hope to get out of putting people in prisons? And whatever your answer may be– is it working?
