In this episode, we’ll hear about how several Black-led Michigan basebuilding groups responded to the January 6th 2021 revolt and ongoing attacks on voting rights in Black communities. Byron and Jonathan describe the process of researching the corporations that funded election-denying politicians (23:16), and then going after those corporations to create consequences for funding voter suppression (19:12), including a successful campaign against statewide utility rate hikes (40:54).

Check out a writeup on this campaign at The Forge, and an article Byron and Jonathan wrote about it.
