The United States is not a democracy. We need a democratic constitution! A media wing of the Democratic Constitution Blog.
In this episode, Luke talks with Alec Karakatsanis, Founder and Executive Director of Civil Rights Corps and author of Copaganda: How Police and the Media Manipulate Our News. The conversation touches on George Floyd’s murder and subsequent protests; the illusion of police reforms as presented through body cameras and the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act; the undemocratic Constitution and obstructionist Senate; and resisting copaganda and the role of civil rights advocacy in our current moment.
During the conversation, Luke mentioned a blog article that attempts to link police violence and legal unaccountability to our undemocratic political system.
