episode What One Generation Won Could Be Lost cover

Description

The fight one generation thought was settled is back on the table. Congressman Jonathan Jackson joins us to discuss the unraveling of the Voting Rights Act, modern gerrymandering, voter suppression, and why he believes America is sliding backward on civil rights. From South Carolina’s redistricting battles to the national fight over representation, Jackson argues that democracy depends on protecting access to the ballot and refusing to normalize inequality. Voting rights, racial justice, political power, and the future of representation all take center stage as the country faces growing questions about whether hard-won progress can survive. 00:00 Introduction 03:04 Voting Rights Under Attack 08:51 Gerrymandering, Race, and Economic Division 14:53 How Systemic Racism Still Shapes America 19:42 Voter Suppression and the Fight for Hope Congressman Jonathan Jackson https://jonathanjackson.house.gov/ Also available wherever you get your podcasts: Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/frogmore-stew/id1714820542 Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/6pxy2KuAmOfHCOU7xFQHUj There's more stew on Substack! https://frogmorestew.substack.com/ Learn more about Frogmore Stew at https://www.frogmorestewsc.com/ On Instagram https://www.instagram.com/frogmorestewsc on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@frogmorestewsc Frogmore Stew is brought to you by The Alliance Coalition The Alliance Coalition works to redistribute power back to YOU, the voter.
