At Southern Coalition for Social Justice, we believe the South is the most radical place in this country; it’s why so much has been done to oppress those who call it home. In this podcast, you’ll hear directly from the folks on the frontlines; community members who are living the reality of uniquely Southern struggles, as well as advocates, lawyers, lawmakers, and others who are fighting back, creating solutions, changing the narrative, and forcefully demanding equal rights for all. Voting rights, justice system reform, and environmental justice aren't just buzzwords; they are the issues that affect real lives. We'll delve deep into these topics, exploring how they intersect, impact, and empower the stories of our Southern communities.

×Join us for the Season 1 finale of Southern Gumption for a very special conversation with members of the Warren County Environmental Action Team to discuss the history of the North Carolina PCB Protests of 1982, which popularized the term "environmental justice." Learn about the multiracial coalition that formed the seven-week long fight against illegal dumping of toxic waste, the ongoing efforts to continue the fight, and the power of telling your own story. Featured in this episode are Reverend Bill Kearney, creator of the Warren County African American History Collective and WCEAT; Wayne Mosley, one of the original participants of the 1982 protests who has helped produce two documentaries on the protests; and Dollie Burwell, another participant of the protests who is known as the "Mother of the Environmental Justice Movement." Southern Gumption is hosted by Andy Li ( he/him/they/them) , presented by Southern Coalition for Social Justice , and produced by Earfluence .…
Hear the stories of dedicated community activists as we tell the story of Edenton and its Confederate monument. Hear about the long battle over removing these monuments of hate in North Carolina, the recent legal battles over moving them, and how the fight for justice in one small Outer Banks town reflects the fight for justice across the South. Southern Gumption is hosted by Andy Li (he/him/they/them), presented by Southern Coalition for Social Justice, and produced by Earfluence.…
Join us for an eye-opening conversation as we delve into the critical issue of prison gerrymandering and its profound impact on political representation. Our guest, Mike Wessler, the Communications Director of the Prison Policy Initiative , sheds light on how the practice distorts our democratic process by counting incarcerated individuals in census data where they are imprisoned rather than their home communities. We unravel the failures and gaps in knowledge within the Census system, which perpetuate the erasure of incarcerated populations from the political discourse. Tune in as we confront the challenges and obstacles faced in rectifying this injustice, and discover the pathways toward a fairer, more equitable political system that truly represents all voices, including those too often silenced by the criminal legal system. Southern Gumption is hosted by Andy Li (he/him/they/them), presented by Southern Coalition for Social Justice, and produced by Earfluence.…
Walk through a historic story of election denialism as we tell the story of Surry County and the first removal of election deniers from public office in the country.

Southern Gumption is hosted by Andy Li ( he/him/they/them) , presented by Southern Coalition for Social Justice , and produced by Earfluence .…
