Boycott or Nah? | Native Land Pod

This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum are joined by comedian Leslie Jones to answer a question that we’ve been hearing a lot lately: “What do we do?” What do we do in response to a Trump administration that’s upending our government? What do we do to re-focus on our local communities and ourselves? And what do we do about all these companies ending DEI? We hear y’all–what do we do?? Call 202-224-3121 to reach your local senator and make your voice heard. The debate: to boycott or not to boycott? Large companies like Target, Facebook/Meta and Tesla have gone mask-off and ended their DEI initiatives in response to a “shifting cultural and legal landscape.” Does this mean inclusivity in hiring practices is over? And comedian and actress Leslie Jones talks about being unapologetically Black in Hollywood. How do Black entertainers stand up for themselves in the entertainment industry AND should they be standing up for all of us? And of course we’ll hear from you!
