On today's episode I talk to policy analyst and data scientist
Sam Sinyangwe. Sam grew
up in Orlando, FL, and has been involved in organizing and advocacy
since he was in high school. He's worked at PolicyLink helping to
support a national network of 61 "Promise Neighborhoods" with
the goal of building cradle-to-career systems of support for
low-income families. He created the "Mapping Police Violence"
project, which collects and uses data as a tool for fighting police
violence. And most recently, he founded Campaign Zero with DeRay
Mckesson and Brittany Packnett. Campaign Zero is a comprehensive
organization dedicated to ending police violence by limiting police
interventions, improving community interactions, and ensuring
accountability. He's also the co-founder of two other activist
organizations StayWoke and OurStates, the latter which is dedicated
to connecting communities in order to combat the Trump/GOP
agenda.
