Let's talk about the Hands Off protests in Detroit

Show notes

Locally, the Hands Off protests filled the sidewalks of Woodward Avenue with thousands of people, running from the DIA to Little Caesars Arena and back on Saturday, April 5. They also popped up across Metro Detroit - from Ferndale to Wyandotte - and in many cities across the country.

Not only did we go, we talked to people on the streets of Detroit. We discuss the wider things that are happening that are directly impacting Metro Detroit, Michigan and the nation at this crucial time.

We get into some thorny issues: Why a lot of Black people are sitting out of protests in general, to generational differences around hope, to what's at stake in a greater sense.
