Keep Me Posted is a podcast about the intersection of race, rights, democracy and justice in the digital age.

In the midst of COVID-19 and uprisings calling for the end of police violence across the U.S. and around the world, lawmakers and leaders are turning to technology for a cheap and decisive solution. But what should we do when these solutions increase surveillance, unjustly placing eyes on Black and Brown people? 

This episode features a conversation with Hannah Sassaman, Policy Director at the Movement Alliance Project (MAP). Based in Philadelphia, MAP connects communities and builds power for working families at the intersection of race, technology and inequality.
