YouTube Description
as posted by the channelJen Pan sits down with Cedric Johnson to discuss his new book The Panthers Can’t Save Us Now: Debating Left Politics and Black Lives Matter. Johnson argues that we need to think about why the defund movement failed to gain traction outside of narrow activist circles. How can the Left find a better way to politicize municipal and state budgets to more effectively fund social programs that will combat the true sources of crime: poverty and inequality?
