Podcast Discussion: Civics 101- The Lavender Scare
You've probably heard about the Red Scare - the panic around the perceived threat of communism during the Cold War. But the Lavender Scare is lesser known. This was a time when the federal government investigated, persecuted and fired thousands of LGBTQ+ employees, calling them security risks and threats to the country.
In this episode of Civics 101, we dive into the origin and timeline of the Lavender Scare, and meet the man who pushed back, and in doing so, started a movement.
Podcast Discussion: Christian Picciolini - My Descent Into America’s Neo-Nazi Movement and How I got Out
What is social justice? Is systemic racism real? What is CRT? Why is everyone talking about voting rights and gerrymandering? Do people really want to defund the police? Why do people want to ban books?
Do any of these questions sound familiar? If you're interested in talking through some of these ideas, join the BCC social justice committee at one of our upcoming events. We'd love to hear your thoughts and questions!
Each meeting we'll talk about a TED Talk, video, or podcast episode we've all listened to covering topics like how to talk with people who have different views, voting rights, censorship, and more. We want to hear your thoughts and think together about what we can do to make change in our world.
