Hello all!
This week we will be speaking with Brad Richardson and Belinda Creighton-Smith from the Disproportionate Minority Confinement Resource Center. We will be discussing the disproportionate incarceration of non-white youths in Iowa and what DMC is doing to change this- and how you can get involved. The statistics are shocking. For example, regarding racial injustice did you know that Iowa is one of the worst places you can live if you are African American? Or that, even though African Americans only make up 3% of the Iowa state population, African American youths are 6.5 more likely to be incarcerated for the same crime as committed by white kids? Please join us and hear some facts that will startle you- and hopefully move you into action.
Last week's show was great! Below is the link for the last week's interview with the UI Antiwar Group. Sadly, Andrew Duffy could not make the show, but we had a good interview and a great time, nonetheless.
After downloading the mp3, you will want to fast forward it to the time code of 13.50- as this is where the interview begins.
