Online event (see link)

As Black organizers across the country reignite the spirit of Freedom Summer amid growing attacks on voting rights, DEI, public education, and civil rights protections, we begin the show with a special Juneteenth conversation hosted by Finale Norton featuring Gaylene Kanoyton of the Virginia NAACP and grassroots leader Ms. Margaret Morrison.

Then we shift into a LIVE Congressional District 1 Candidate Roundtable featuring in alphabetical order:

🔥 Elizabeth Dempsey Beggs

🔥 Salaam Bhatti

🔥 Tim Cywinski

🔥 Shannon Taylor

We will discuss the issues voters are talking about right now: healthcare access, Medicare & Medicaid, democracy, accountability, data centers, infrastructure, extremism, and what leadership looks like in this political moment.

This is not politics as usual. This is Friday Power Lunch.

SHOW UP • POWER UP • FIGHT BACK
