Summary
John talks about Trump (who pledged to make Juneteenth a federal holiday during his 2020 presidential campaign) ignoring the holiday and complaining on social media that there are "too many non-working holidays". He also discusses NYC Comptroller and Democratic mayoral candidate Brad Lander who was roughed up and arrested by ICE agents at immigration court in Manhattan. Next, John interviews Jasmine E. Sessoms. She is the President of The 1968 Collective, the parent company of Center 1968 and Firm 1968. She has built a visionary career at the intersection of civic engagement, philanthropy, and politics. As leader of The 1968 Collective, Jasmine works to foster strategic leadership, advocacy, and community empowerment to her home city of Philadelphia and beyond. And finally, he speaks with Hope Giselle who is an author, artist, trans activist and representative of the National Black Justice Collective's Good Trouble Network. She’s also a member of D.C.’s advisory council for LGBTQ rights. She was the first openly Black trans woman to speak at the 60th anniversary of the March on Washington in 2024. They discuss the Supreme Court decision that poses a direct threat to the rights and lives of transgender youth in Tennessee.
