Upcoming Broadcasts

Peace! Join us on Wednesday, October 4th at 4pm PST for Season 1 Episode 8 of Tales From the Plantation Nation with your host Sam Brown as we welcome our latest guest: the amazing and indomitable Sennett Devermont! Sennett Devermont also known as Mr Checkpoint, is an activist for over 15 years and founder of Always Film The Police and AFTP Foundation (Always for the People). Born and raised in Los Angeles by a family of lawyers and activists, Sennett learned about social issues and developed a critical lens on our justice system at a young age. Sennett now works to lead initiatives that educate the public about their legal rights and help combat the indifference, inaction, and apathy that perpetuate widespread injustice and inequity in our criminal justice system. From advocating for victims and increasing participation in our justice system by making jury duty cool, to fighting for veterans' rights, Sennett is leading AFTP's wide-ranging initiatives to educate, mobilize, and empower communities to bring about real and lasting change. Tune in. Tell a friend. Things will never be the same again. Abolitiontoday.org
