Emancipate NC Executive Director Dawn Blagrove recently joined host Erika Washington for a powerful conversation about the future of Black political power following a Supreme Court decision weakening Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act.
During the podcast, Dawn discussed the importance of building long-term, community-rooted power through local leadership, collective economic responsibility, and investment in Black-led organizing. The conversation also highlighted the need to move beyond crisis-response politics while continuing to hold elected officials accountable and push for systemic reform.
