Channel: Stand Show
Date: 2024-01-03

Kelly and Niki Tshibaka engage in a thought-provoking discussion with Seneca Scott, a community organizer and former mayoral candidate in Oakland, California. As a cousin of Coretta Scott King, Seneca shares insights into his family's legacy of service and how it has influenced his own work in the community. Seneca introduces the concept of being a "post-partisan solutionary," emphasizing the importance of focusing on solutions rather than partisan politics. The conversation covers the challenges faced by Oakland, particularly in terms of public safety and the impact of the "defund the police" movement on crime rates. Seneca also addresses the issue of homelessness, discussing the role of the "non-profit industrial complex" and the billionaire class in perpetuating the decline of American cities.
