Are you voting between a rock and a hard place?

On this first episode of Beyond Voting, we get real about voting our values with Dr. Michelle Taylor, also known as Feminista Jones-  the award-winning author of Reclaiming Our Space: How Black Feminists Are Changing the World from the Tweets to the Streets.

We spoke with her after the 2024 Democratic National Convention and took a critical look at where we find ourselves with Vice President Harris, our new Democratic nominee. She shared her thoughts on voting as harm reduction, the importance of developing a political consciousness, and the realities of holding elected officials accountable.
