In this podcast we discuss police accountability with Kimberly Be'l Papiyon Phillips. Kimberly’s son A.J. died during an encounter with San Jose police officers August 10, 2015. Kimberly will also talk about California police accountability legislation S.B. 1421, which would give the public access to the misconduct history of police officers.

Our Policy Watch segment will feature analysis of the austerity budget that was passed by the Hartford, Connecticut City Council last week, and commentary on the two party political system, which is a trap for Black people.

Our Real Talk segment will feature an excerpt of a 1971 speech by former Black Panther Party communications secretary Kathleen Cleaver. The speech at UCLA took place after a falling out between Kathleen’s husband Eldridge Cleaver and Black Panther Party co-founder Huey P. Newton, which led to the expulsion of the International Branch of the Black Panther Party that was led by Eldridge in Algeria.
