Daily News | ‘How is That Legal?’ Community Legal Services launches podcast that breaks down systemic racism, one law at a time
Tobar, who over the last six years, has worked as both a youth justice and Supplemental Security Income legal services lawyer at CLS, is the host.“More than one in ten Black children in America will be forcibly separated from their parents and placed in foster care by the time they reach age eighteen,” an announcement on the CLS website said.
And it is just one way Black and other people can lose out on opportunities to achieve intergenerational wealth.Mass incarceration takes away the freedom of Black and other poor people, Tobar said. The judge delayed reuniting a Black woman with her children for another six months because her apartment was infested with roaches and rodents.
“I knew this was a terrible system that punishes people for being poor, especially for being poor and Black,” Roberts told Tobar. “I was still shocked that this judge would brazenly admit the system was keeping this family separated for something that was the fault of the landlord.”Podcasts interrogate racialized systems, empower listeners with information
Another podcast will have Bishop Dwayne Royster, executive director of POWER Interfaith, and CLS Attorney Kintéshia Scott discussing utility policies, the relationship between gun violence and rising temperatures and how climate change will more negatively affect Black and brown communities.
