    Unlike driving the car, it's our responsibility to participate in one of the most important acts surrounding American democracy - voting. This episode gets into the fundamentals of voting and takes a look into some of the details that impact the upcoming General Election on November 3rd. There's no such thing as your vote doesn't count, because it does. It's our civic responsibility, one where we should take pride in participating in the process and vote for those who we believe will work on our behalf in various offices.

    Ep. 1: American Genocide
    Oct 1 2020
    Come grab a seat at the table as this episode takes a look into law enforcement and their place within the society. Considering the current state of affairs, language like de-fund the police, systematic police reform, or reconstruction of training is often the main talking point within various settings. This is due to the consistent trend of misconduct when engaged with people of color, primarily African Americans, for what often tends to be nothing more than prejudices and/or stereotypes. This episode addresses the message of #BlackLivesMatter (not to be confused with the organization) and the alternate message of #BlueLivesMatter. You'll also hear about the lack of standards maintained by officers, mainly when off duty, as well as the absence of justice on both the local and federal levels. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/strongtalkcircuit/support
