Hey, this is Drey and welcome to positive people. In this episode, it's me and Miles talking about

all the things that happened last week with regard to race justice and equity. And then we want to feature

an incredible book by an incredible author that is on the 2025 Blackest Book Club.

And the book is called Carceral Apartite.

The author is the one and only Dr. Brittany Friedman.

She's the interview this week.

Please buy the book.

I learned so much.

And it just is a really different way to approach the conversation about the history of incarceration.

She looks at the Black Girl of Family.

It's brilliant.

Read it.

Check it out.

Here we go.

Now, there's a ton of rage bait in the news right now meant to distract and overwhelm us,

but today we'd like to focus on something positive, the work we've done to fight back and what you can do to help. This month,

Vote Save America is making donations as a part of the anxiety relief program to black-led

organizations and candidates of color helping us gain ground at the state and local level,

like Janelle Bynum, Oregon's first black congress member who won her district by less than

12,000 votes in 2024 and is in a must-win re-election bid that could determine whether Democrats

take back the House.
