We have another loaded episode for you this week. We are joined by Hawk and Chivona Newsome of Black Opportunities and Black Lives Matter Greater New York to break down both the federal indictment of Eric Adams and the targeting of Relly by the NYPD after he was given a $10k bail and was sent to Rikers Island for protesting last week. Hawk and Chivona explain the reasoning for disrupting the corrupt mayor’s press conference the following day and give their analysis on why the state is trying so hard to suppress activism. Relly then describes his time on Rikers Island, the deplorable conditions, and how an NYPD lie has him in such legal jeopardy. On the brighter side, we highlight the incredible swell of support from the community as we rallied to raise his bail, how it is indicative of the string networks We The People has built in the city and how we can seize on that momentum. We also end by talking about Missouri executing Marcellus Williams by lethal injection last week despite evidence of his innocence and over one million people signing a petition for a stay of execution. We close the episode by honoring the legacy and poetry highlighting the plight of oppressed peoples he left behind.
