Taifa Smith Butler is the new president of Demos, a progressive think tank aimed at creating a just, inclusive multiracial democracy and economy for all. So what would that look like and what legislation is needed to help us get there in this time of rising income inequality and ongoing systemic racism. Demos is calling on Congress to pass the For the People Act saying this transformative voting rights bill, has racial justice at its core and would expand political power in Black and brown communities. 

Just Solutions from Free Speech TV features inspiring conversations with activists, community leaders, and others working to make our world a better place. We discuss the many challenges we are facing while exploring the solutions emerging from the grassroots. This is a weekly 1/2 hour radio show/podcast/TV show. Free Speech TV is one of the last standing national, independent news networks committed to advancing progressive social change. As the alternative to television networks owned by billionaires, governments, and corporations, our network amplifies underrepresented voices and those working on the front lines of social, economic and environmental justice.
