Ready for A Night In? Join Tabby and Kate as they take a break from discussing history and instead engage in a discourse about the difficulties of participating in local politics. A key focus of the episode is the importance of voting at the community level while acknowledging some of the barriers voters face while trying to navigate local politics.  Episode Guide: 00:00-04:59 Commentary on what is happening.  05:00 We get to the point of the show.

What can we do to change this issue?  08:00 Omari Hardy stands up for the people of Lake Worth  10:00 Killer Mike says vote out politicians you don't like, but this can be very difficult. Many local politicians run unopposed. This is why it is important to always pay attention and when your window of opportunity arises, take it!  13:00 How do you know if judges are working in the interest of the community? In PBC the bar association holds a judicial review that evaluates the performance of judges.  17:00 Local Newspapers do a lot of heavy lifting for you when you are trying to navigate your local politics.  20:00 Don't forget: Mayors and County Execs work a lot with local police (appoint police chiefs; negotiate police unions; enact police review boards)  22:00 State Attorney are elected into office. Are they holding police and city officials to account?  Thanks again for listening.
