As the Supreme Court dismantles key protections of the Voting Rights Act, Tennessee has become one of the clearest examples of what comes next. In this urgent conversation, I go live with Tennessee Rep. Justin J. Pearson and State Futures Founder and President Gaby Goldstein to discuss racist redistricting, the coordinated attack on Black political power, and why state legislatures have become the new front lines in the fight for democracy.If you find value in these critical updates, join our movement for justice and subscribe.Watch this interview on YouTubeSubscribe to Let’s Address This on that platform, too, to support our expansion, and for more long-form video analysis and interviews with political candidates, elected officials, academics, and moreRep.
