This week Elizabeth and Isabel continue our conversation with Blu Buchanan, Sociology PhD Candidate and Co-Founder of Students and Workers Ending Racial Violence (SWERV) at UC Davis. We chat about how institutions like police and local government depend on each other to hold and maintain power, and how that affects police accountability and city budgets. We discuss the meme-ification of white folks like BBQ-Becky, and how that response can be both helpful and harmful to the fight for racial justice. We go over civil asset forfeiture, how the criminal justice system turns disproportionately affects low-income folks, and protects property over people. Then we delve into the history of the Black Lives Matter movement, and discuss how its tactics and focus have shifted since its inception in 2012.Stay tuned for part four of our conversation with Blu!Have any comments, questions, or ideas for future shows?
