AWKWORD INTERVIEWS: Samuel Sinyangwe, Mapping Police Violence Creator and Campaign Zero Founder

"As a Black boy going through the school system in Orlando, Florida, which sounds like Disney World and Universal, but outside of that it is the South, and you're going through an incredibly segregated system that is a legacy of Jim Crow and, before, that Slavery." - Samuel Sinyangwe on his upbringing, witnessing the school-to-prison pipeline in real time
[Episode 37 of the INTERVIEWS series from AWKWORD, featuring social justice leaders]
On this episode: I speak with Samuel Sinyangwe, aka Sam Swey, activist, organizer and data scientist/analyst, creator of Mapping Police Violence (mappingpoliceviolence.us) and Police Scorecard (policescorecard.org), and co-founder of Campaign Zero, one of the inspirations for TEN DEMANDS (tenforjustice.com). We talk about his upbringing in the South, the school-to-prison pipeline, crime and copaganda, and how data can help prove the truth and value of the abolitionist agenda.
