A few weeks ago, On The Collision “Where Sports And Politics Collide” we discussed an incident in DC where both MPR and Undercover Agents in unmarked cars jumped out on on Jamari Khalif
@jamarikhalif in broad daylight while he was simply walking down the street minding his business. Many commented that they would like an update to what happened with this so I reached out to him personally and invited him to be one of our guests at the next live episode at Bus Boys And Poets, and he agreed
Chuck Modi
@chuckmodi1 recently interviewed an amazing activist and community organizer Afeni
@factsandfire and
@fairbudgetdc after participating in a protest at 5am in front of Mayor Bowser’s
@mayor_bowser home, on why the recent budget proposal by Mayor Bowser
@murielbowser is insufficient. From cuts in youth programming, housing, defunding of emergency rental assistance, health care complaints, the fact that 10% of all youth services are being cut in DC etc but Bowser proposes yet another increase in the police budget of 15%. It will be an honor to interview her live as well as Bus Boys And Poets this Thursday.
We will also be joined by two gifted young poets from PG County who I have had the pleasure of seeing perform recently and they are absolutely amazing.
