Donald Trump's path to power was littered with attacks on Muslims, women, immigrants, people of color, people with disabilities, people who are undocumented, and people who are queer. And these communities have suffered under his administration. The November 6th election presents an opportunity to put significant checks on Trumpism. There is no lack of clarity about what is at stake, but the ability to fight back effectively turns on the ability of all these constituencies to see common cause and to overcome concerted efforts to keep them from voiting. On this special preview of Intersectionality Matters!, we talk to two African American women leading the fight for our democracy: Barbara Arnwine, founder of both the Transformative Justice Coalition and Election Protection, the Nation's largest nonpartisan voter protection coalition; and Kristen Clarke, Executive Director of the Lawyer's committee on Civil Rights Under Law. Clarke is Leading the Court Challenge against Georgia's vote suppression tactics in the face of the historic campaign being waged by Stacey Abrams, a candidate who may make history by becoming the first African American woman to be elected governor. These eye-opening interviews by Kimberle Crenshaw address critical issues presented in this election, and explore what more we must do after November 6th to ensure intersectional justice for all.
