In this episode we’ll continue our coverage of the nationwide #BlackLivesMatter protests and discuss more police abuse as well as the urgent need to defund the police. We’ll also grapple with other potential solutions and talk about the impact these protests are having on the 2020 general election. We’ll also discuss key primary races involving Ed Markey, Mitch McConnell and Eliot Engel and close the show by talking to 2020 congressional candidate Lisa Savage, who explains how ranked choice voting in Maine has changed the game for Green Party candidates such as herself.
