On this installment of Under the Blacklight, Kimberlé Crenshaw sits down with Rep. Ayanna Pressley, Rep. Barbara Lee, and State’s Attorney Kim Foxx to discuss their experiences at the intersection of grassroots activism and electoral politics. Together, they speak about the mothers who raised them, the work they're doing to combat the twin pandemics of COVID and racial inequity, and the dynamic tensions that lie between their progressive values and the political institutions they've chosen to work within. By pulling back the curtain to hear their stories and heed their calls, we all have the opportunity to become better partners, constituents, and torchbearers for those in the struggle. With: STATE'S ATTY. KIM FOXX - State's Attorney for Cook County, Illinois
 REP. BARBARA LEE - U.S. Representative for California's 13th congressional district REP. AYANNA PRESSLEY - U.S. Representative for Massachusetts's 7th congressional district Hosted by Kimberlé Crenshaw (@sandylocks)
