Advocacy is the New Pink

Point of Hue

Salimah and Ateira are joined by Kimberly Humphrey, Esq., ACLU of Maryland legislative counsel, who shares her wealth of knowledge about advocacy, allyship, and education funding. Tune in to hear a passionate discussion about the racist media portrayals of “riots” versus “protests,” a word of advice for non-Black allies, and an “is this real life” moment you won’t soon forget.

Note: This episode includes information about school funding in Maryland and recommendations from the Kirwan Commission. Since the episode was recorded, the Commission has delayed consideration of a new education funding formula. For more information and the ACLU of Maryland’s take on this issue, please refer to this article, to which Kimberly Humphrey contributed her expertise: https://www.aclu-md.org/en/news/increasing-education-funding-not-luxury.
