“It is a Christian obligation to vote, and more than that, it is the church’s responsibility to help get souls to the polls.”— Presiding Bishop Michael Curry, The Episcopal Church  The United States locks up more people per capita than any other nation, at the staggering rate of 698 per 100,000 residents. And the poor and people of color are dramatically overrepresented in our nation’s prisons and jails. Once released from prison, former prisoners are punished again, discriminated against in housing, employment and in voting. Something needs to change.    Proposition 17, on the November ballot, would amend the California constitution to restore the right to vote to convicted felons who are released on parole from state or federal prison. Under current law such persons are not eligible to vote until the terms of their parole are completed. Can even narrow policy changes, like this one, meaningfully reduce our society’s use of incarceration? And what else can we do?    Join us to hear from Dorsey Nunn, Executive Director of Legal Services for Prisoners with Children, co-founder of All of Us or None, in conversation with Dean Malcolm Clemens Young about Prop. 17, amending the 13th Amendment and the movement to win full restoration of human and civil rights for formerly and currently incarcerated people.

Today on Sojourner Truth:As fires continue to ravage Western U.S. states (in particular California, Oregon and Washington), smoke from the fires have traveled across the country, including to New York City. Also, as far North as Canada and as far East as Europe. The pollutants and fine particles in the air are hazardous to those exposed to it. In particular, those with underlying conditions, children and the elderly. Western states now have the worst air quality in the world. Meanwhile, Donald Trump visited California where he yet again denied global warming, including its relationship to the fires. Our guest is Dr. Robert M. Gould, a medical doctor with Physicians for Social Responsibility.As polls in swing states tighten, including in Florida, Biden and Trump are now neck-to-neck in Florida. The right of prisoners and former felons to vote has taken on new focus. In Florida, voters had approved the right of former felons to vote, but the voters' decision has been undermined again in a series of court rulings that have the impact of blocking people who have already served their time from voting. The Democratic Governor of Kentucky announced that former felons will be allowed to vote in that state, but in California, that right is still being fought for. There is a proposition on the ballot in California that would afford the right of those on parole to vote. Our guest is Dorsey Nunn, Executive Director of Legal Services for Prisoners with Children. Dorsey has over twenty-five years experience working on prison related issues.For our ongoing Campaigners for Black Lives series, we discuss gangs in the Los Angeles Sheriffs units. A federal investigation may be underway, but Black and Brown communities have known for quite some time that violent gangs exist in Sheriff's units in Black and Latinx communities. The LA Sheriff's Department is one of the largest law enforcement agencies in the country. We speak with Mark Anthony, an organizer with Black Lives Matter Los Angeles.Also, our weekly Earth Minute and a brand new series, Sojourner's Ballot Box Quiz, with S. Pearl Sharp.
