So, what is an activist. There is a saying that one man’s freedom fighter, is another man’s terrorist. Our guest today is the real deal.
Terence “TC” Muhammad has been a community activist and organizer for over two decades. His experience spans voter mobilization campaigns, issue advocacy, and coalition building in African American communities, faith communities, on college campuses, and among civil rights and progressive organizations.
He works at the intersection of economic justice, criminal justice reform, climate and environmental justice, youth empowerment, and community health. His primary role as Community Outreach Manager for Hip Hop Caucus is to coordinate grassroots mobilizations with advocacy agendas at local, state, and federal levels. This involves working with local and national issue-based coalitions, Hip Hop Caucus’ grassroots leaders, and elected officials to ensure communities’ voices have a say in the policymaking process.

On this weeks show we would be remiss if we did not discuss the ongoing police violence against our Black and Brown people. Why is it you don’t hear of incidents like this when white people interact with law enforcement?
The recent shooting of Dante Wright and the brutal pepper spraying of an army officer, in uniform, represents that sending officers back for training is not the answer. The cop that shot Dante had been on the force for more than 20 years. In addition, she was an instructor. With the host of shootings and brutality, it is clear the problem is escalating instead of declining.

We really thought that we had put the Georgia elections to sleep with the defeat of Trump, and the take over of the Senate. But do you know that the State of Georgia is passing and implementing so called Reforms to suppress the hell out of people of color. The vote is still one of the most powerful tools we have to affect change. But no, the mere loss of Georgia is too surreal for our Right Leaning Brethren to take. We all know it is an attempt to validate or ease Trump’s election loss.
