Hey Y’all,
Welcome to my third installment of audio notes from Montgomery, Alabama. * *In this reflection, I want to tell you about a street sign located near the National Memorial for Peace and Justice, and how its location opens up a much harder question about coalition politics among the left.
Here at the Democracy Defenders Summit, we’ve been calling out how the left is losing the narrative war against authoritarianism and white supremacist aggression while blaming Black folks for talking about race. This reflection discusses the racism hiding inside progressive coalitions and how class gets weaponized to silence Black truth.
Come go look at this with me.
