On today’s episode of Hard Knock Radio, Davey D is in conversation with longtime activist and strategist Ethel Long-Scott of the Women’s Economic Agenda Project (WEAP). Together, they explore the urgent need for deeper civic engagement and voter education, especially in underserved communities. Long-Scott breaks down how economic justice is inseparable from political power and why mobilizing marginalized voters is key to advancing transformative change.
The discussion also turns local, as they examine the political landscape in Oakland and the need to protect progressive leadership, particularly Congresswoman Barbara Lee, who is widely regarded as a people’s candidate and the newly elected mayor of Oakland. This conversation cuts through the noise to uplift the grassroots power that is already moving and organizing in the East Bay and beyond.
