RAD-TV Presents: Slavery, Reparations, and the Profits of Legalized Cannabis 04/26/2019

This month on RAD-TV we speak with Brian Cina, State Representative for Chittenden 6-4, and Brandon Del Pozo, Chief of Police for the City of Burlington. Host Tom Proctor discusses Mark Hughes' #EndslaveryVT initiative and why we are still talking about slavery in Vermont in 2019, and Brian Cina talks about the H.478 Bill he recently introduced to the Vermont legislature calling for a task force to study and consider a state apology and proposal for reparations for the institution of slavery.

Both guests weigh in on the effects of the drug war on minorities in Vermont, what will change with cannabis legalization and what, if anything, should be done with tax money brought in from the cannabis industry to remedy historical inequalities.

This month on RAD-TV's Live@525, we speak with newly elected City Council members Perri Freeman (Central District, P) and Jack Hanson (East District, P). Both candidates were endorsed by Rights and Democracy prior to the election, and we’re looking forward to real progressive change now that they're joining Ali Dieng, Brian Pine, and Max Tracy on the City Council.

Betsy McGavisk also visits the show to discuss the result to question #4 on the recent Burlington ballot, asking voters to further amend Article 89 of the City Charter, creating a DID. McGavisk will shed some light on what that acronym means and why the people said “No.”

Leading the show is a brand new host: local musician and radio host Tom Proctor!
