About this listen

 In this week's show, Councilwoman Robinson and Ryan explore a variety of fascinating subjects from her response to activist calls to Defund, to the history of policing and racial capitalism in the city. Robinson describes her upbringing as a born and raised KC native and how her time at the Ad Hoc Group Against Crime shaped her journey and political thought. Most importantly, they discuss the ongoing budget cycle for the city to determine whether Kansas City will align with national and local calls to reallocate spending away from racist policing and instead towards life-giving institutions and services.
