This is another series of special edition Get After It PDX episodes we're calling "Listen Up", where we discuss important current events with different guests in our community and beyond.
Listen Up #1 features Faith Briggs (former Get After It PDX guest on Episode 4!) talking about the case of Ahmaud Arbery in specific and the tragic frequency at which wrongful killings of people of color like his occur in general, touching on our nation's history after slavery when laws were established and the ground work laid for systemic racism to flourish and terrorize ever since.
This is an important episode, give it a listen and follow along:
