This week’s Race + Power Weekly examines recent challenges to democracy, what it could mean for our collective future, and how to fight back. But first, with season one wrapped, we have a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the “Off the Hook” series. Next, a look at the recent trends in banning books by LGBTQIA+ authors and authors of color, including a book by former National Youth Poet Laureate Amanda Gorman. Then, a report by the American Association of University Professors warns of an “unparalleled assault” on higher education in Florida and across the country. Finally, the funders calling on their peers in philanthropy to support the Stop Cop City movement working to protect land and democracy in Atlanta.
