"content": "\n \u003cp>As any schoolkid might tell you, US elections are based on a bedrock principle: one person, one vote. Simple as that. Each vote carries the same weight. Yet for much of the country’s history, that hasn't been the case. At various points, whole classes of people were shut out of voting: enslaved Black Americans, Native Americans, and poor White people. The first time women had the right to vote was in 1919. \u003c/p>\u003cp>The reality is that one person, one vote is far from how American democracy actually works. In fact, the political institutions created by the Founding Fathers were meant to constrain democracy, and that system is still alive today. \u003c/p>\u003cp>Institutions like the Electoral College and US Senate were designed as checks against the power of the majority. What’s more, the Supreme Court is a product of these two skewed institutions. Then there are newer tactics—like voter suppression and gerrymandering—that further erode democracy and often entrench the power of a conservative White minority.\u003c/p>\u003cp>These are some of the conclusions from Mother Jones reporter Ari Berman in his latest book, \u003cem>Minority Rule: The Right-Wing Attack on the Will of the People—and the Fight to Resist It\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\u003cp>In a deep-dive conversation with Reveal host Al Letson, Berman traces the rise of conservative firebrand Pat Buchanan and how he opened the door for Donald Trump.

"excerpt": "As any schoolkid might tell you, US elections are based on a bedrock principle: one person, one vote. Simple as that. Each vote carries the same weight. Yet for much of the country’s history, that hasn't been the case. At various points, whole classes of people were shut out of voting: enslaved Black Americans, Native Americans, and poor White people. The first time women had the right to vote was in 1919. \nThe reality is that one person, one vote is far from how American democracy actually works. In fact, the political institutions created by the Founding Fathers were meant to constrain democracy, and that system is still alive today. \nInstitutions like the Electoral College and US Senate were designed as checks against the power of the majority. What’s more, the Supreme Court is a product of these two skewed institutions. Then there are newer tactics—like voter suppression and gerrymandering—that further erode democracy and often entrench the power of a conservative White minority.\nThese are some of the conclusions from Mother Jones reporter Ari Berman in his latest book, Minority Rule: The Right-Wing Attack on the Will of the People—and the Fight to Resist It.\nIn a deep-dive conversation with Reveal host Al Letson, Berman traces the rise of conservative firebrand Pat Buchanan and how he opened the door for Donald Trump. Buchanan made White Republicans fear becoming a racial minority. And he opposed the Voting Rights Act, which struck down obstacles to voting like poll taxes and literacy tests that had been used to keep people of color from the polls.

To others, the adoption story seemed to run afoul of a federal law meant to protect Native children from being removed from their tribes’ care in favor of non-Native families. \u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cbr>\u003c/p>\u003cp>This week on Reveal, reporters Andrew Becker and Bernice Yeung dig into the story of this complicated and controversial adoption, how it circumvented the mission of the Indian Child Welfare Act, and why some of the baby’s Native family and tribe were left feeling that a child was taken from them. \u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cbr>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cem>This episode was produced in collaboration with the Investigative Reporting Program at UC Berkeley’s Graduate School of Journalism.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Support Reveal’s journalism at\u003ca href=\"https://checkout.fundjournalism.org/memberform?org_id=cir&amount=15&installmentPeriod=monthly&utm_source=reveal-podcast&utm_medium=partner-website&utm_campaign=membership_2022_podcastdescription&utm_content=&utm_term=&campaign=7015d000001wAmaAAE\">\u003cstrong> Revealnews.org/donatenow\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Subscribe to our weekly newsletter to get the scoop on new episodes at\u003ca href=\"http://revealnews.org?utm_source=reveal-podcast&utm_medium=partner-website&utm_campaign=membership_2022_podcastdescription&utm_content=&utm_term=&campaign=\">\u003cstrong> Revealnews.org/newsletter\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\u003cp>\u003cem>Connect with us on\u003c/em>\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/reveal\">\u003cstrong>\u003cem> Twitter\u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cem>,\u003c/em>\u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/ThisIsReveal\">\u003cstrong>\u003cem> Facebook\u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cem> and\u003c/em>\u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/revealnews/\">\u003cstrong>\u003cem> Instagram\u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n \u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

The COVID Tracking Project became a de facto source of data amid the chaos of COVID-19. With case counts rising quickly, volunteers scrambled to document tests, hospitalizations, and deaths in an effort to show where the virus was and who was dying. \u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cbr>\u003c/p>\u003cp>This week on Reveal: We investigate the failures by federal agencies that led to over 1 million Americans dying from COVID-19 and what that tells us about the nation’s ability to fight the next pandemic.This Peabody Award-nominated three-part series is hosted by epidemiologist Jessica Malaty Rivera and reported by Artis Curiskis and Kara Oehler from The COVID Tracking Project at The Atlantic. \u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cem>This is an update of an episode that originally aired in \u003c/em>\u003ca href=\"https://revealnews.org/podcast/the-covid-tracking-project-part-1/\">\u003cstrong>\u003cem>April 2023\u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cem>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Support Reveal’s journalism at\u003ca href=\"https://checkout.fundjournalism.org/memberform?org_id=cir&amount=15&installmentPeriod=monthly&utm_source=reveal-podcast&utm_medium=partner-website&utm_campaign=membership_2022_podcastdescription&utm_content=&utm_term=&campaign=7015d000001wAmaAAE\">\u003cstrong> Revealnews.org/donatenow\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Subscribe to our weekly newsletter to get the scoop on new episodes at\u003ca href=\"http://revealnews.org?utm_source=reveal-podcast&utm_medium=partner-website&utm_campaign=membership_2022_podcastdescription&utm_content=&utm_term=&campaign=\">\u003cstrong> Revealnews.org/newsletter\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Connect with us on\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/reveal\">\u003cstrong> Twitter\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>,\u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/ThisIsReveal\">\u003cstrong> Facebook\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> and\u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/revealnews/\">\u003cstrong> Instagram\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\u003cp>\u003cem>Take our \u003c/em>\u003ca href=\"https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/PLDKQYJ\">\u003cstrong>\u003cem>listener survey\u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n \u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Sherman’s Special Field Orders, No. 15 – better known as 40 acres and a mule – implied a better life in the waning days of the Civil War.

Instead, they live in hiding, fearing deportation back to Russia and persecution of themselves and their families.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>For Western nations grappling with Russia’s vast and growing diaspora, Russian military defectors present particular concern: Are they spies? War criminals? Or heroes?\u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>Next, Reveal host Al Letson talks with Kinetz and fellow reporter Solomiia Hera about why these military defectors are not finding sanctuary in Western Europe or the U.S. and how demographics and Russian President Vladimir Putin’s willingness to accept enormous casualties in Ukraine could give Russia an edge in an emerging war of attrition.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>In the final segment, we follow a Ukrainian man who knows all too well what a war of attrition really looks like. Oleksii Yukov is a martial arts instructor and leader of a team of volunteers who collect the remains of fallen soldiers, both Ukrainian and Russian. Yukov is on a spiritual quest to give these souls a final resting place.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>“We are not fighting the dead,” Yukov says. “Our weapon is humanity and a shovel.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cp>\u003cem>Support Reveal’s journalism at \u003ca href=\"https://checkout.fundjournalism.org/memberform?org_id=cir&amount=15&installmentPeriod=monthly&utm_source=reveal-podcast&utm_medium=partner-website&utm_campaign=membership_2022_podcastdescription&utm_content=&utm_term=&campaign=7015d000001wAmaAAE\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Revealnews.org/donatenow\u003c/a>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cp>\u003cem>Subscribe to our weekly newsletter to get the scoop on new episodes at \u003ca href=\"http://revealnews.org?utm_source=reveal-podcast&utm_medium=partner-website&utm_campaign=membership_2022_podcastdescription&utm_content=&utm_term=&campaign=\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Revealnews.org/newsletter\u003c/a>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cp>\u003cem>Connect with us on \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/reveal\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/ThisIsReveal\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/revealnews/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram\u003c/a>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n \u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Davis\u003c/a> visiting Psychedelic Science 2023, the largest-ever conference on psychedelic drugs. It’s put on by the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies, an organization dedicated to legalizing MDMA (also known as ecstasy or molly) and other psychedelic drugs. Research shows that MDMA-assisted therapy can help treat depression and PTSD, and it’s moving toward approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Psychedelics were studied in the 1950s and ’60s as mental health treatments, but the war on drugs put a stop to research. Now, these drugs are gaining bipartisan support from politicians looking for solutions to the mental health crisis among veterans. \u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>Then Reveal’s Michael I Schiller visits a group of veterans who are not waiting for psychedelic-assisted therapy to be approved by the federal government. They’ve joined a church founded by an Iraq War veteran who uses psychedelics as religious sacraments. Schiller accompanies them on a retreat in rural Texas, where they share the depths of their post-traumatic stress and the relief they’ve felt after psychedelic treatments. He also explores the risks involved in taking these drugs. \u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>We close with an intimate audio diary from a woman in Oakland, California, who’s going through therapy with the one psychedelic drug that can be legally prescribed currently in the U.S.: ketamine. Ketamine started out as an anesthetic, but researchers found it can help with treatment-resistant depression when used in tandem with talk therapy. Ketamine can be dangerous if abused, but it also has helped people find relief from mental health issues.

"title": "Listening in on Russia’s War in Ukraine",
"publishDate": 1708750800,
"format": "standard",
"content": "\n \u003cp>In this week’s episode, produced in collaboration with the Associated Press, reporters on the front lines take us inside Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and share never-before-heard recordings of Russian soldiers. \u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>The day President Vladimir Putin ordered the invasion, Feb. 24, 2022, Russia unleashed a brutal assault on the strategic port city of Mariupol. That same day, a team of AP reporters arrived in the city. Vasilisa Stepanenko, Evgeniy Maloletka and Mstyslav Chernov kept their cameras and tape recorders rolling throughout the onslaught. Together, they captured some of the defining images of the war in Ukraine. Stepanenko and Maloletka talk with guest host Michael Montgomery about risking their lives to document blasted buildings, enormous bomb craters and the daily life of traumatized civilians. As Russian troops advanced on Mariupol, the journalists managed to escape with hours of their own material and recordings from the body camera of a noted Ukrainian medic, Yuliia Paievska. The powerful footage went viral and showed the world the brutalities of the war, as well as remarkable acts of courage by journalists, doctors and ordinary citizens. \u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>Next, we listen to audio that’s never been publicly shared before: phone calls Russian soldiers made during the first weeks of the invasion, secretly recorded by the Ukrainian government. AP reporter Erika Kinetz obtained more than 2,000 of these calls. Using social media and other tools, she explores the lives of two soldiers whose calls home capture intimate moments with friends and family. The intercepted calls reveal the fear-mongering and patriotism that led some of the men to go from living regular lives as husbands, sons and fathers to talking about killing civilians. \u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>In Bucha, a suburb of Kyiv, Russian soldiers left streets strewn with the bodies of civilians killed during their brief occupation. Kinetz shares her experiences visiting Bucha and speaking with survivors soon after Russian troops retreated. In the secret intercepts, Russian soldiers speak of “cleansing operations.” One soldier tells his mother: “We don’t imprison them. We kill them all.” \u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>Will Russian soldiers and political leaders be prosecuted for war crimes? Montgomery talks with Oleksandra Matviichuk, a Ukrainian human rights lawyer who received a 2022 Nobel Peace Prize.

"excerpt": "In this week’s episode, produced in collaboration with the Associated Press, reporters on the front lines take us inside Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and share never-before-heard recordings of Russian soldiers. \nThe day President Vladimir Putin ordered the invasion, Feb. 24, 2022, Russia unleashed a brutal assault on the strategic port city of Mariupol. That same day, a team of AP reporters arrived in the city. Vasilisa Stepanenko, Evgeniy Maloletka and Mstyslav Chernov kept their cameras and tape recorders rolling throughout the onslaught. Together, they captured some of the defining images of the war in Ukraine. Stepanenko and Maloletka talk with guest host Michael Montgomery about risking their lives to document blasted buildings, enormous bomb craters and the daily life of traumatized civilians. As Russian troops advanced on Mariupol, the journalists managed to escape with hours of their own material and recordings from the body camera of a noted Ukrainian medic, Yuliia Paievska. The powerful footage went viral and showed the world the brutalities of the war, as well as remarkable acts of courage by journalists, doctors and ordinary citizens. \nNext, we listen to audio that’s never been publicly shared before: phone calls Russian soldiers made during the first weeks of the invasion, secretly recorded by the Ukrainian government. AP reporter Erika Kinetz obtained more than 2,000 of these calls. Using social media and other tools, she explores the lives of two soldiers whose calls home capture intimate moments with friends and family. The intercepted calls reveal the fear-mongering and patriotism that led some of the men to go from living regular lives as husbands, sons and fathers to talking about killing civilians. \nIn Bucha, a suburb of Kyiv, Russian soldiers left streets strewn with the bodies of civilians killed during their brief occupation. Kinetz shares her experiences visiting Bucha and speaking with survivors soon after Russian troops retreated. In the secret intercepts, Russian soldiers speak of “cleansing operations.” One soldier tells his mother: “We don’t imprison them. We kill them all.” \nWill Russian soldiers and political leaders be prosecuted for war crimes? Montgomery talks with Oleksandra Matviichuk, a Ukrainian human rights lawyer who received a 2022 Nobel Peace Prize. She runs the Center for Civil Liberties in Kyiv, which has been gathering evidence of human rights abuses and war crimes in Ukraine since Russia’s first invasion in 2014. Matviichuk says it’s important for war crimes to be handled by Ukrainian courts, but the country’s legal system is overwhelmed and notoriously corrupt.

Angie Nixon says the new maps violate Florida’s constitutional protections of racial minorities and their ability to “elect representatives of their choice.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cp>\u003cem>Support Reveal’s journalism at \u003ca href=\"https://checkout.fundjournalism.org/memberform?org_id=cir&amount=15&installmentPeriod=monthly&utm_source=reveal-podcast&utm_medium=partner-website&utm_campaign=membership_2022_podcastdescription&utm_content=&utm_term=&campaign=7015d000001wAmaAAE\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Revealnews.org/donatenow\u003c/a>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cp>\u003cem>Subscribe to our weekly newsletter to get the scoop on new episodes at \u003ca href=\"http://revealnews.org?utm_source=reveal-podcast&utm_medium=partner-website&utm_campaign=membership_2022_podcastdescription&utm_content=&utm_term=&campaign=\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Revealnews.org/newsletter\u003c/a>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cp>\u003cem>Connect with us on \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/reveal\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/ThisIsReveal\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/revealnews/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram\u003c/a>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n \u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Since 2016, U.S. officials across the world – in Cuba, China and Russia – have reported experiencing the sudden onset of an array of eerie symptoms. Reporters Adam Entous and Jon Lee Anderson try to make sense of this confusing illness that has come to be called Havana syndrome.

"content": "\n \u003cp>When they were invented in the ’90s, renewable energy certificates were meant to stimulate the green energy market. Back then, building wind and solar farms was way more expensive than it is today. The idea was that renewable energy producers could sell certificates that represented the “greenness” of the energy they made. Anyone buying those certificates, or RECs, could claim that green power and also claim they were helping the environment. \u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>For years, corporations have bought RECs as a low-commitment way to claim they’re “going green” – all while using the same old fossil fuel-powered electricity. \u003cbr>\n\u003cbr>\nSo how exactly do RECs help the climate crisis? This week, Reveal investigates RECs and finds that the federal government uses them to pad its environmental stats.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>Reveal’s Will Evans starts with Auden Schendler, the man in charge of sustainability at Aspen Skiing Co. Schendler initially convinced his company to buy RECs to go green, then realized he made a mistake. But even after he spoke out and evidence piled up showing that RECs were ineffective, other companies kept buying them – and the federal government did, too. Evans and Reveal’s Melissa Lewis determined that since 2010, more than half of what the government has claimed as renewable energy was just cheap RECs.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>Next, Reveal’s Najib Aminy takes us to Palm Beach County, Florida, to find out where some RECs are made: in a trash incinerator. Amid all the sounds and smells of burning garbage, Aminy looks into whether buying RECs actually helps the environment and where the money goes. He meets Andrew Byrd, who lives nearby and worries about the fumes.

"excerpt": "When they were invented in the ’90s, renewable energy certificates were meant to stimulate the green energy market. Back then, building wind and solar farms was way more expensive than it is today. The idea was that renewable energy producers could sell certificates that represented the “greenness” of the energy they made. Anyone buying those certificates, or RECs, could claim that green power and also claim they were helping the environment. \nFor years, corporations have bought RECs as a low-commitment way to claim they’re “going green” – all while using the same old fossil fuel-powered electricity. \nReveal’s Will Evans starts with Auden Schendler, the man in charge of sustainability at Aspen Skiing Co. Schendler initially convinced his company to buy RECs to go green, then realized he made a mistake. But even after he spoke out and evidence piled up showing that RECs were ineffective, other companies kept buying them – and the federal government did, too. Evans and Reveal’s Melissa Lewis determined that since 2010, more than half of what the government has claimed as renewable energy was just cheap RECs.\nNext, Reveal’s Najib Aminy takes us to Palm Beach County, Florida, to find out where some RECs are made: in a trash incinerator. Amid all the sounds and smells of burning garbage, Aminy looks into whether buying RECs actually helps the environment and where the money goes.

"content": "\n \u003cp>Medications like Suboxone help pregnant women safely treat addiction. But in many states, taking them can trigger investigations by child welfare agencies that separate mothers from their newborns. This week, we tell the story of one young mother who thought she was doing the right thing by taking her prescription, only to be reported to the state of Arizona and investigated for child abuse and neglect. \u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>Reveal’s Shoshana Walter starts off by introducing us to Jade Dass, who was taking Suboxone to treat her addiction to opioids before she became pregnant. Scientific studies and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say that taking addiction treatment medications, such as Suboxone and methadone, during pregnancy leads to the best outcomes for both mothers and babies. But after Dass delivered a healthy daughter, the hospital reported her to the Arizona Department of Child Safety. \u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>Next, Walter explores why women like Dass are being investigated for using addiction-treatment medications during pregnancy.

Morel has spent the last year investigating anti-abortion crisis pregnancy centers. Now that abortions are severely restricted or banned in much of the country, these centers are trying to fill some of the health care gap that’s emerged in conservative areas. In states that continue to allow abortions, crisis pregnancy centers have doubled down on their mission to discourage patients from terminating their pregnancies – often using deceptive practices to lure them into their facilities. Morel talks to a Florida woman who describes her experience at a Jacksonville crisis pregnancy center, where a volunteer deceived her into thinking it was an abortion clinic. As Morel and episode host Nadia Hamdan discover, deceiving pregnant women is part of these centers’ long history. \u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>Finally, we explore how a 2018 U.S. Supreme Court decision has made it harder to regulate anti-abortion centers – and how the lack of regulation harms clients. Morel tells the story of an anti-abortion nurse in Kentucky who reported infection control problems at the crisis pregnancy center where she volunteered, only to find that the facility is allowed to operate in a regulatory gray zone.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cp>\u003cem>Support Reveal’s journalism at \u003ca href=\"https://checkout.fundjournalism.org/memberform?org_id=cir&amount=15&installmentPeriod=monthly&utm_source=reveal-podcast&utm_medium=partner-website&utm_campaign=membership_2022_podcastdescription&utm_content=&utm_term=&campaign=7015d000001wAmaAAE\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Revealnews.org/donatenow\u003c/a>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cp>\u003cem>Subscribe to our weekly newsletter to get the scoop on new episodes at \u003ca href=\"http://revealnews.org?utm_source=reveal-podcast&utm_medium=partner-website&utm_campaign=membership_2022_podcastdescription&utm_content=&utm_term=&campaign=\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Revealnews.org/newsletter\u003c/a>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>Connect with us on \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/reveal\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/ThisIsReveal\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/revealnews/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram\u003c/a>\u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n ",

Morel has spent the last year investigating anti-abortion crisis pregnancy centers. Now that abortions are severely restricted or banned in much of the country, these centers are trying to fill some of the health care gap that’s emerged in conservative areas. In states that continue to allow abortions, crisis pregnancy centers have doubled down on their mission to discourage patients from terminating their pregnancies – often using deceptive practices to lure them into their facilities. Morel talks to a Florida woman who describes her experience at a Jacksonville crisis pregnancy center, where a volunteer deceived her into thinking it was an abortion clinic. As Morel and episode host Nadia Hamdan discover, deceiving pregnant women is part of these centers’ long history. \nFinally, we explore how a 2018 U.S. Supreme Court decision has made it harder to regulate anti-abortion centers – and how the lack of regulation harms clients. Morel tells the story of an anti-abortion nurse in Kentucky who reported infection control problems at the crisis pregnancy center where she volunteered, only to find that the facility is allowed to operate in a regulatory gray zone.\nSupport Reveal’s journalism at Revealnews.org/donatenow\n\n\nSubscribe to our weekly newsletter to get the scoop on new episodes at Revealnews.org/newsletter\n\n\n\nConnect with us on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram",

They claim that hormonal contraceptives like IUDs and the pill can actually \u003cem>cause\u003c/em> abortions.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>One prominent group making this claim is Students for Life of America, whose president has said she wants contraceptives like IUDs and birth control pills to be illegal. The fast-growing group has built a social media campaign spreading the false idea that hormonal birth control is an abortifacient. Reveal’s Amy Mostafa teams up with UC Berkeley journalism and law students to dig into the world of young anti-abortion influencers and how medical misinformation gains traction on TikTok, Instagram and YouTube, with far-reaching consequences.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>Tens of millions of Americans use hormonal contraceptives to prevent pregnancy and regulate their health. And many have well-founded complaints about side effects, from nausea to depression – not to mention well-justified anger about how the medical establishment often pooh-poohs those concerns. Anti-abortion and religious activists have jumped into the fray, urging people to reject hormonal birth control as “toxic” and promoting non-hormonal “fertility awareness” methods – a movement they’re trying to rebrand as “green sex.” Mother Jones Senior Editor Kiera Butler explains how secular wellness influencers such as Jolene Brighten, who sells a $300 birth control “hormone reset,” are having their messages adopted by anti-abortion influencers, many of them with deep ties to Catholic institutions.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>The end of Roe triggered a Missouri law that immediately banned almost all abortions. Many were shocked when a major health care provider in the state announced it would also no longer offer emergency contraception pills – Plan B – because of a false belief that it could cause an abortion. While the health system soon reversed its policy, it wasn’t the first time Missouri policymakers have been roiled by the myth that emergency contraception can prevent a fertilized egg from implanting and cause an abortion. Reveal senior reporter and producer Katharine Mieszkowski tracks how lawmakers in the state have been confronting this misinformation campaign and looks to the future of how conservatives are aiming to use birth control as their new wedge issue.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cp>\u003cem>Support Reveal’s journalism at \u003ca href=\"https://checkout.fundjournalism.org/memberform?org_id=cir&amount=15&installmentPeriod=monthly&utm_source=reveal-podcast&utm_medium=partner-website&utm_campaign=membership_2022_podcastdescription&utm_content=&utm_term=&campaign=7015d000001wAmaAAE\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Revealnews.org/donatenow\u003c/a>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cp>\u003cem>Subscribe to our weekly newsletter to get the scoop on new episodes at \u003ca href=\"http://revealnews.org/weekly\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Revealnews.org/weekly\u003c/a>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>Connect with us on \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/reveal\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/ThisIsReveal\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/revealnews/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram\u003c/a>\u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n \u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Series host Jessica Malaty Rivera and reporters Artis Curiskis and Kara Oehler bring us the conclusion of The COVID Tracking Project story and an interview with the current CDC director, Dr. Rochelle Walensky. \u003c/p>\u003cp>We look at the myth that COVID-19 was “the great equalizer,” an idea touted by celebrities and politicians from Madonna to then-New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Ibram X.

"content": "\n \u003cp>In a two-part collaboration with ICT (formerly Indian Country Today), we expose the painful legacy of boarding schools for Native children.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>These schools were part of a federal program designed to destroy Native culture and spirituality, with the stated goal to “kill the Indian and save the man.” ICT reporter Mary Annette Pember, a citizen of the Red Cliff Band of Ojibwe, explores the role the Catholic Church played in creating U.S. policy toward Native people and takes us to the Red Cloud Indian School on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. Under pressure from the community, the school has launched a truth and healing program and is helping to reintroduce traditional culture to its students.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>Next, Pember visits 89-year-old boarding school survivor Basil Brave Heart, who was sent to the Red Cloud School in the 1930s. He vividly remembers being traumatized by the experience and says many of his schoolmates suffered for the rest of their lives.

"excerpt": "In a two-part collaboration with ICT (formerly Indian Country Today), we expose the painful legacy of boarding schools for Native children.\nThese schools were part of a federal program designed to destroy Native culture and spirituality, with the stated goal to “kill the Indian and save the man.” ICT reporter Mary Annette Pember, a citizen of the Red Cliff Band of Ojibwe, explores the role the Catholic Church played in creating U.S. policy toward Native people and takes us to the Red Cloud Indian School on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. Under pressure from the community, the school has launched a truth and healing program and is helping to reintroduce traditional culture to its students.\nNext, Pember visits 89-year-old boarding school survivor Basil Brave Heart, who was sent to the Red Cloud School in the 1930s. He vividly remembers being traumatized by the experience and says many of his schoolmates suffered for the rest of their lives.

"title": "Listening in on Russia’s War in Ukraine",
"publishDate": 1677301200,
"format": "standard",
"content": "\n \u003cp>In this week’s episode, produced in collaboration with the Associated Press, reporters on the front lines take us inside Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and share never-before-heard recordings of Russian soldiers. \u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>The day President Vladimir Putin ordered the invasion, Feb. 24, 2022, Russia unleashed a brutal assault on the strategic port city of Mariupol. That same day, a team of AP reporters arrived in the city. Vasilisa Stepanenko, Evgeniy Maloletka and Mstyslav Chernov kept their cameras and tape recorders rolling throughout the onslaught. Together, they captured some of the defining images of the war in Ukraine. Stepanenko and Maloletka talk with guest host Michael Montgomery about risking their lives to document blasted buildings, burned-out cars, enormous bomb craters and the daily life of traumatized civilians. As Russian troops advanced on Mariupol, the journalists managed to escape with hours of their own material and recordings from the body camera of a noted Ukrainian medic, Yuliia Paievska. The powerful footage went viral and showed the world the shocking brutalities of the war, as well as remarkable acts of courage by journalists, doctors and ordinary citizens. \u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>Next, we listen to audio that’s never been publicly shared before: phone calls Russian soldiers made during the first weeks of the invasion, secretly recorded by the Ukrainian government. AP reporter Erika Kinetz obtained more than 2,000 of these calls. Using social media and other tools, she explores the lives of two soldiers whose calls home capture intimate moments with friends and family. The intercepted calls reveal the fear-mongering and patriotism that led some of the men to go from living regular lives as husbands, sons and fathers to talking about killing civilians. \u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>In Bucha, a suburb of Kyiv, Russian soldiers left streets strewn with the bodies of civilians killed during their brief occupation. Kinetz shares her experiences visiting Bucha and speaking with survivors soon after Russian troops retreated. In the secret intercepts, Russian soldiers tell their families about being ordered to take no prisoners and speak of “cleansing operations.” One soldier tells his mother: “We don’t imprison them. We kill them all.” \u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>Will Russian soldiers and political leaders be prosecuted for war crimes? Montgomery talks with Oleksandra Matviichuk, a Ukrainian human rights lawyer who received a 2022 Nobel Peace Prize.

"excerpt": "In this week’s episode, produced in collaboration with the Associated Press, reporters on the front lines take us inside Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and share never-before-heard recordings of Russian soldiers. \nThe day President Vladimir Putin ordered the invasion, Feb. 24, 2022, Russia unleashed a brutal assault on the strategic port city of Mariupol. That same day, a team of AP reporters arrived in the city. Vasilisa Stepanenko, Evgeniy Maloletka and Mstyslav Chernov kept their cameras and tape recorders rolling throughout the onslaught. Together, they captured some of the defining images of the war in Ukraine. Stepanenko and Maloletka talk with guest host Michael Montgomery about risking their lives to document blasted buildings, burned-out cars, enormous bomb craters and the daily life of traumatized civilians. As Russian troops advanced on Mariupol, the journalists managed to escape with hours of their own material and recordings from the body camera of a noted Ukrainian medic, Yuliia Paievska. The powerful footage went viral and showed the world the shocking brutalities of the war, as well as remarkable acts of courage by journalists, doctors and ordinary citizens. \nNext, we listen to audio that’s never been publicly shared before: phone calls Russian soldiers made during the first weeks of the invasion, secretly recorded by the Ukrainian government. AP reporter Erika Kinetz obtained more than 2,000 of these calls. Using social media and other tools, she explores the lives of two soldiers whose calls home capture intimate moments with friends and family. The intercepted calls reveal the fear-mongering and patriotism that led some of the men to go from living regular lives as husbands, sons and fathers to talking about killing civilians. \nIn Bucha, a suburb of Kyiv, Russian soldiers left streets strewn with the bodies of civilians killed during their brief occupation. Kinetz shares her experiences visiting Bucha and speaking with survivors soon after Russian troops retreated. In the secret intercepts, Russian soldiers tell their families about being ordered to take no prisoners and speak of “cleansing operations.” One soldier tells his mother: “We don’t imprison them. We kill them all.” \nWill Russian soldiers and political leaders be prosecuted for war crimes? Montgomery talks with Oleksandra Matviichuk, a Ukrainian human rights lawyer who received a 2022 Nobel Peace Prize. She runs the Center for Civil Liberties in Kyiv, which has been gathering evidence of human rights abuses and war crimes in Ukraine since Russia’s first invasion in 2014. Matviichuk says it’s important for war crimes to be handled by Ukrainian courts, but the country’s legal system is overwhelmed and notoriously corrupt.

"content": "\n \u003cp>Some of the most enduring photos of the civil rights movement were taken by Ernest Withers. A native of Memphis, Tennessee, Withers earned the trust of Martin Luther King Jr. and other civil rights leaders. But as it turns out, he was secretly taking photos for the federal government as well. This week, Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Wesley Lowery brings us the story of Withers in an adaptation of the podcast “Unfinished: Ernie’s Secret,” from Scripps News and Stitcher.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>Lowery starts by explaining how Withers earned his reputation as a chronicler of the civil rights movement. We tour a museum of Withers’ photographs with his daughter Roz, who deconstructs his famous “I Am a Man” photo of striking sanitation workers.

"publishDate": 1671858000,
"format": "standard",
"content": "\n \u003cp>The pandemic isn’t past tense. While COVID-19 vaccines have made it possible to gather with friends and hug loved ones again, the world is still living with the virus – and too many people are still dying because of it. More than a million people in the United States have died from COVID-19 since the pandemic began, including about 250,000 people in 2022. To reflect on the lives the world has lost, we’re revisiting an episode that follows a young doctor through her first year of medical residency during the height of the pandemic. \u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://khn.org/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Kaiser Health News\u003c/a> reporter Jenny Gold spent eight months following Dr. Paloma Marin-Nevarez, who graduated from the Stanford University medical school in June 2020, right before the virus began its second major surge. She was one of more than 30,000 new doctors who started residencies in 2020. Just weeks after graduating, Marin-Nevarez began training as an ER doctor at Community Regional Medical Center in Fresno, one of the areas in California hardest hit by the pandemic. \u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>Marin-Nevarez faces the loneliness and isolation of being a new doctor, working 80 hours a week in the era of masks and social distancing.

While COVID-19 vaccines have made it possible to gather with friends and hug loved ones again, the world is still living with the virus – and too many people are still dying because of it. More than a million people in the United States have died from COVID-19 since the pandemic began, including about 250,000 people in 2022. To reflect on the lives the world has lost, we’re revisiting an episode that follows a young doctor through her first year of medical residency during the height of the pandemic. \nKaiser Health News reporter Jenny Gold spent eight months following Dr. Paloma Marin-Nevarez, who graduated from the Stanford University medical school in June 2020, right before the virus began its second major surge. She was one of more than 30,000 new doctors who started residencies in 2020. Just weeks after graduating, Marin-Nevarez began training as an ER doctor at Community Regional Medical Center in Fresno, one of the areas in California hardest hit by the pandemic. \nMarin-Nevarez faces the loneliness and isolation of being a new doctor, working 80 hours a week in the era of masks and social distancing.

While the health system soon reversed its policy, it wasn’t the first time Missouri policymakers have been roiled by the myth that emergency contraception can prevent a fertilized egg from implanting and cause an abortion. Reveal senior reporter and producer Katharine Mieszkowski tracks how lawmakers in the state have been confronting this misinformation campaign and looks to the future of how conservatives are aiming to use birth control as their new wedge issue.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cp>\u003cem>Support Reveal’s journalism at \u003ca href=\"https://checkout.fundjournalism.org/memberform?org_id=cir&amount=15&installmentPeriod=monthly&utm_source=reveal-podcast&utm_medium=partner-website&utm_campaign=membership_2022_podcastdescription&utm_content=&utm_term=&campaign=7015d000001wAmaAAE\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Revealnews.org/donatenow\u003c/a>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cp>\u003cem>Subscribe to our weekly newsletter to get the scoop on new episodes at \u003ca href=\"http://revealnews.org?utm_source=reveal-podcast&utm_medium=partner-website&utm_campaign=membership_2022_podcastdescription&utm_content=&utm_term=&campaign=\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Revealnews.org/newsletter\u003c/a>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cp>\u003cem>Connect with us on \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/reveal\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/ThisIsReveal\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/revealnews/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram\u003c/a>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n \u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"content": "\n \u003cp>This episode explores two stories of fights over the right to vote. \u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>Texas-based nonprofit True the Vote claims to have evidence of widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election—an idea Trump loudly echoes as part of “the big lie.” But True the Vote has never shown any proof. The lack of evidence hasn’t stopped the group from netting millions of dollars in donations. As reporter Cassandra Jaramillo explains, True the Vote founder Catherine Engelbrecht and board member Gregg Phillips took home hundreds of thousands of dollars in personal loans and payments to companies they’re associated with. Despite this grift, True the Vote’s influence is still expanding. The group provided “research” for a new film called \u003cem>2000 Mules\u003c/em> that promises to expose widespread voter fraud—with no evidence to back it up. \u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>The big lie sparked the insurrection at the Capitol on January 6th, 2021, an event that is now part of the nation’s election history. But this was not the first time that a violent mob tried to challenge election results.

"excerpt": "This episode explores two stories of fights over the right to vote. \nTexas-based nonprofit True the Vote claims to have evidence of widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election—an idea Trump loudly echoes as part of “the big lie.” But True the Vote has never shown any proof. The lack of evidence hasn’t stopped the group from netting millions of dollars in donations. As reporter Cassandra Jaramillo explains, True the Vote founder Catherine Engelbrecht and board member Gregg Phillips took home hundreds of thousands of dollars in personal loans and payments to companies they’re associated with. Despite this grift, True the Vote’s influence is still expanding. The group provided “research” for a new film called 2000 Mules that promises to expose widespread voter fraud—with no evidence to back it up. \nThe big lie sparked the insurrection at the Capitol on January 6th, 2021, an event that is now part of the nation’s election history.

She looks at how one case led Florida lawmakers, backed by the National Rifle Association, to enact a law that spells out that prosecutors, not defendants, have the burden of proof when claiming someone was not acting in self-defense when committing an act of violence against another individual. \u003c/p>\n\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cp>\u003cem>Support Reveal’s journalism at \u003ca href=\"https://checkout.fundjournalism.org/memberform?org_id=cir&amount=15&installmentPeriod=monthly&utm_source=reveal-podcast&utm_medium=partner-website&utm_campaign=membership_2022_podcastdescription&utm_content=&utm_term=&campaign=7015d000001wAmaAAE\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Revealnews.org/donatenow\u003c/a>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cp>\u003cem>Subscribe to our weekly newsletter to get the scoop on new episodes at \u003ca href=\"http://revealnews.org?utm_source=reveal-podcast&utm_medium=partner-website&utm_campaign=membership_2022_podcastdescription&utm_content=&utm_term=&campaign=\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Revealnews.org/newsletter\u003c/a>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>Connect with us on \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/reveal\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/ThisIsReveal\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/revealnews/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram\u003c/a>\u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n \u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"content": "\n \u003cp>In the early 2000s, rampant steroid use across Major League Baseball became the biggest scandal in the sport’s history. But fans didn’t want to hear the difficult truth about their heroes – and the league didn’t want to intervene and clean up a mess it helped make.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>We look back at how the scandal unraveled with our colleagues from the podcast \u003ca href=\"https://www.religionofsports.com/crushed/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Crushed\u003c/a> from \u003ca href=\"https://www.religionofsports.com/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Religion of Sports\u003c/a> and PRX. Their show revisits the steroid era to untangle its truth from the many myths, examine the legacy of baseball’s so-called steroid era and explore what it tells us about sports culture in America.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>We start during the 1998 MLB season, when the home run race was on. Superstar sluggers Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa battled to set a new single-season record, and McGwire, the St. Louis Cardinals first baseman, was portrayed as the hero baseball needed: part humble, wholesome, working man and part action hero, with his brawny build and enormous biceps. So when a reporter spotted a suspicious bottle of pills in his locker in the middle of the season, most fans plugged their ears and refused to acknowledge that baseball might be hooked on steroids.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>Joan Niesen, a sportswriter and host of the podcast Crushed, takes us on a deep dive into an era that dethroned a generation of superstars, left fans disillusioned and turned baseball’s record book on its head.

But fans didn’t want to hear the difficult truth about their heroes – and the league didn’t want to intervene and clean up a mess it helped make.\nWe look back at how the scandal unraveled with our colleagues from the podcast Crushed from Religion of Sports and PRX. Their show revisits the steroid era to untangle its truth from the many myths, examine the legacy of baseball’s so-called steroid era and explore what it tells us about sports culture in America.\nWe start during the 1998 MLB season, when the home run race was on. Superstar sluggers Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa battled to set a new single-season record, and McGwire, the St. Louis Cardinals first baseman, was portrayed as the hero baseball needed: part humble, wholesome, working man and part action hero, with his brawny build and enormous biceps. So when a reporter spotted a suspicious bottle of pills in his locker in the middle of the season, most fans plugged their ears and refused to acknowledge that baseball might be hooked on steroids.\nJoan Niesen, a sportswriter and host of the podcast Crushed, takes us on a deep dive into an era that dethroned a generation of superstars, left fans disillusioned and turned baseball’s record book on its head. The story takes us from ballparks and clubhouses to the halls of Congress to explain how baseball was finally forced to reckon with its drug problem.\nThis is a rebroadcast of an episode that originally aired in July 2021. \nSupport Reveal’s journalism at Revealnews.org/donatenow\n\n\nSubscribe to our weekly newsletter to get the scoop on new episodes at Revealnews.org/newsletter\n\n\n\nConnect with us onTwitter, Facebook and Instagram",

Cities have long turned to police as the mechanism for making homelessness disappear. But arrests don’t solve a housing crisis. \u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>Reveal looked at six major cities up and down the West Coast and found that people living on the streets are consistently more likely to be arrested than their neighbors who live in houses. At the same time, places such as Portland, San Francisco and Los Angeles are now grappling with a major court decision. In 2019, the Supreme Court let a ruling stand that says it's cruel and unusual punishment to arrest people who are sleeping or camping in public places if there is no shelter for them to stay. In Portland, the city is trying to build more shelters, but there is pushback from residents who don’t want a shelter in their neighborhood. People are growing frustrated, and they want the problem to go away. Reporter Melissa Lewis tells the story of these intersecting parts after spending months talking to unhoused people who go to weekly dinners at a neighborhood park. \u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>Lewis follows one man’s journey through the criminal justice system as he tries to disentangle himself from arrest warrants that keep accumulating after he misses court dates and fails to check in with his probation officer. We also hear from locals who are trying to build trust and connection with their houseless neighbors and others who are tired of seeing tents and call the police for help. We also hear what it takes to move someone off the street, one person at a time. \u003c/p>\n \u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"content": "\n \u003cp>For decades, Doctors Without Borders has been admired for bringing desperately needed medical care to crises around the globe and pioneering modern-day humanitarian aid. It’s an organization with radical roots, promising to do whatever it takes to deliver life-saving care to people in need. But now, it’s struggling to address institutional racism.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>The organization, also known by its French acronym MSF, has about 63,000 people working in 88 countries. While foreign doctors parachuting into crisis zones get most of the attention, 90 percent of the work is being done by local health workers. \u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>In the summer of 2020, more than 1,000 current and former staffers wrote a letter calling out institutional racism at MSF. They say that MSF operates a two-tiered tiered system that favors foreign doctors, or expat doctors, over local health workers. \u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>On the eve of MSF’s 50th anniversary, reporters Mara Kardas-Nelson, Ngozi Cole and Sean Campbell talked to about 100 current and former MSF workers to investigate how deep these issues run. We meet Dr. Indira Govender, a South African doctor who in 2011 accepted what she thought was her dream job with MSF in South Africa, only to get a front-row seat to the organization’s institutional racism. Even though she’s officially the second-in-command of her project, she says it feels like a select group of European expats and White South Africans are running the show. \u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>Then, Kardas-Nelson and Cole take us inside the inequities MSF staffers experienced during the 2014 Ebola outbreak in Sierra Leone. While expat doctors had their meals together and socialized, local health workers were left out. But inequities ran deeper. If expat doctors got sick, they would be evacuated out of the country, while local workers didn’t get that care – they were treated at the same center where they worked. Kardas-Nelson and Cole reported the story from Sierra Leone in the Spring of 2021 and spoke to former National MSF clinicians.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>Finally, we talk about what can change in humanitarian aid. Govender is part of a group of current and former MSF workers called Decolonize MSF.

It’s an organization with radical roots, promising to do whatever it takes to deliver life-saving care to people in need. But now, it’s struggling to address institutional racism.\nThe organization, also known by its French acronym MSF, has about 63,000 people working in 88 countries. While foreign doctors parachuting into crisis zones get most of the attention, 90 percent of the work is being done by local health workers. \nIn the summer of 2020, more than 1,000 current and former staffers wrote a letter calling out institutional racism at MSF. They say that MSF operates a two-tiered tiered system that favors foreign doctors, or expat doctors, over local health workers. \nOn the eve of MSF’s 50th anniversary, reporters Mara Kardas-Nelson, Ngozi Cole and Sean Campbell talked to about 100 current and former MSF workers to investigate how deep these issues run. We meet Dr. Indira Govender, a South African doctor who in 2011 accepted what she thought was her dream job with MSF in South Africa, only to get a front-row seat to the organization’s institutional racism. Even though she’s officially the second-in-command of her project, she says it feels like a select group of European expats and White South Africans are running the show. \nThen, Kardas-Nelson and Cole take us inside the inequities MSF staffers experienced during the 2014 Ebola outbreak in Sierra Leone. While expat doctors had their meals together and socialized, local health workers were left out. But inequities ran deeper. If expat doctors got sick, they would be evacuated out of the country, while local workers didn’t get that care – they were treated at the same center where they worked. Kardas-Nelson and Cole reported the story from Sierra Leone in the Spring of 2021 and spoke to former National MSF clinicians.\nFinally, we talk about what can change in humanitarian aid.

But the factors that put Burrell in prison are not rare at all. According to The Sentencing Project, over 10,000 people are serving life sentences in the U.S. for crimes committed when they were juveniles. Half of them are Black. Burrell’s long shot reveals just how difficult it is to right a wrong in our criminal justice system. How many others like Burrell are there? \u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This episode was originally aired on April 17, 2021.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n \u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
