For today’s show, we are discussing two sides of the same coin. In the first half of the show, we talk about how quickly things can become problematic when we skip out on local and midterm elections. We are joined by AZ state congressional candidate Jevin Hodge who helps us break things down.
In the second half of the show, we examine the other side of the coin and highlight some of the progressive, inclusive, and forward-thinking things that have taken place as a direct result of local voting initiatives. Jevin Hodge remains our guest as we discuss an unlikely friendship between Jessie Owens and Nazi Germany-era athlete for our Way Black History Fact.

About Civic Cipher
Civic Cipher is a weekly radio show hosted by Ramses Ja and Q. Ward. This show is dedicated to empowering Black and Brown voices, allowing them to engage directly with their communities as well as the general population. Self-determination is critical to securing a future free of oppressive systems, and Civic Cipher exists to facilitate discussions toward this end. Furthermore, Civic Cipher seeks to inform non-POC allies who may not be privy to these types of discussions and optics. Finally, Civic Cipher seeks to provide long-form conversations in spaces where there is often a lack of significant resources, potent dialogue, or the necessary engagement for facilitating a healthy and productive civil discourse.
