  • I LOVE THIS HUMANBEING!!! I loved her truth on MSNBC and was VERY sad when Joy and other women of color were let go. I was over the moon when I came across her podcast and haven't missed a show yet. I love her knowledge and her truth and will follow her to whatever platform she uses to speak the truth.

Talking Points

The guest discusses the motivation to challenge entrenched redistricting that favors party power and the need to represent working people, contrasting top-down versus bottom-up approaches.

No King, Rotten Court | The Joy Reid Show
