Lurie Breaks It Down

Lurie breaks down the ongoing crisis in Gary, Indiana, where thousands of Black residents remain without power weeks after a historic storm. Thanks to reporting from Capital B News, she examines how this predominantly Black city has been left to fend for itself, drawing parallels to Hurricane Katrina.

The conversation shifts to reproductive justice as Imani Gandy, executive producer of legal content at Rewire News Group, breaks down Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche's recent comments about making abortion bans permanent nationwide. They discuss the manipulation tactics of the religious right, the weaponization of trans rights as a wedge issue, and what communities can do to prepare for both natural disasters and the erosion of bodily autonomy.

In this deeply engaging conversation, Lurie Daniel Favors welcomes back Rashad Robinson to walk through the first chapter of his essential book 'From Presence to Power.' Robinson, who led Color of Change for years, breaks down a critical distinction that too many activists miss: being visible and being powerful are not the same thing. Using Hurricane Katrina as a case study, he contrasts Kanye West's cathartic 'George Bush doesn't care about Black people' moment with Mike Pence's behind-the-scenes policy work that actually shaped New Orleans' future. The discussion touches on everything from climate disasters in Indiana to the difference between tactics and strategy, offering practical frameworks for anyone trying to create real change. This isn't just theory—it's a roadmap for building power in communities that desperately need it. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com
