Today, we’re talking all about the 14th Amendment. Our guest, Sherrilyn Ifill, a dedicated lawyer and the former president of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, is launching the 14th Amendment Center for Law &amp; Democracy at Howard University, which promotes the vision of equality that the 14th Amendment promised – civil rights for all US citizens. She talks about how we as citizens can make the vision of equality a reality and why it is so important to know our American history.Follow Sherrilyn Ifill on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sherrilynifill/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@sherrilynifill&nbsp;</a> Follow The 19th on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/19thnews/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/19thnews" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/19thnews" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">X</a> and via our <a href="https://19thnews.org/newsletters" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">newsletters</a>.&nbsp;Follow Errin Haines on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/emarvelous/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@emarvelous</a> and X <a href="https://twitter.com/errinhaines" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@errinhaines</a>.Follow <a href="https://www.wondermedianetwork.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Wonder Media Network</a> on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/wmn.media/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@wmn.media</a>, X <a href="https://twitter.com/wmnmedia" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@wmnmedia</a>, and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/wmnmedia/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a>.&nbsp; <hr> Hosted on Acast.

Centering Labor in the 2024 Presidential Election with April Verrett

This election year, our democracy hangs in the balance. We need news coverage that cuts past punditry and gives a voice to the new electorate – the marginalized folks that depend on a functioning democracy. Enter: The Amendment, a new podcast about gender, politics and power from The 19th News and Wonder Media Network, hosted by award-winning journalist and 19th editor-at-large Errin Haines.&nbsp;Each week, Errin sits down with people who have fresh perspectives on the state of our country – and asks questions that center the voices of women, queer folks, and people of color. The Amendment adds much needed asterisks to America’s most pressing political conversations – and gets clear on the unfinished work of our democracy.&nbsp; Hosted on Acast.
