If Black people aren’t marching, then what? Part One: Tamia Booker

While there isn’t any racial data published yet for 2026 protests, many reports from 2025 protests like Hands Off and No Kings described crowds that were mostly white and middle-aged..So, here on the show, we’ve launched a mini-series to ask: If some Black people aren’t out in these streets, what are we doing instead? This is Part One, and it includes a conversation with political consultant Tamia Booker. She believes we might just be hoping. Or praying.
