197: Sonya Childress & Sahar Driver on Color Congress
Manage episode 431832785 series 181481
Two years ago, Sonya Childress and Sarah Driver founded Color Congress to support documentary organizations led by people of color in the United States. They serve over 100 organizations that have long been overlooked and underfunded. Color Congress has given out grants, convened a conference, and is preparing to launch a new distribution initiative. Pure Nonfiction host Thom Powers interviews Sonya and Sahar about how Color Congress is filling a void and what they've learned about building allies in fractious times.
They also discuss a new existential threat from a right-wing movement that is targeting organizations that serve people of color. Sonya points to the recent legal case of the Fearless Fund as a cautionary tale.
Sonya was previously interviewed on PN episode 139.
