On Women’s Equality Day, Amanda speaks with Rep. Karen Bass of California, chair of the Congressional Black Caucus. They discuss voter suppression efforts that have persisted far past the 19th Amendment and how the White House and Mitch McConnell have refused to sign legislation protecting Americans’ right to vote. They also address the fact that 65 years after Emmett Till’s murder, lynching is still not a federal hate crime. Rep. Bass describes Congress’s efforts to pass police reform and how a Joe Biden victory is critical to this effort.
