Election 2020
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Black voters played a critical role in electing Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, and in those tense days after the election, as officials in the Pennsylvania Convention Center counted, recounted, and certified the votes, all eyes were on Philadelphia. Black voters came through, and WURD played a critical role. Recognizing the existential threat that four more years of Trump’s racism would bring, WURD encouraged listeners to use their power and vote, by mail or in person. In this fourth and final episode of OnWURD 2020 in Black, Sara Lomax-Reese talks with hosts</span> <a href= "https://wurdradio.com/members/solomon-jones/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Solomon Jones</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">,</span> <a href= "https://wurdradio.com/members/black-womens-leadership-council/"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Joann Bell</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">,</span> <a href= "https://wurdradio.com/members/charles-ellison/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Charles Ellison</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">, and</span> <a href= "https://wurdradio.com/members/dwayne-d-royster-2/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Bishop Dwayne Royster</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">.

Racial Justice Uprisings
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sara Lomax-Reese looks back on the racial justice uprisings. Long before George Floyd’s murder and the global protests it sparked, WURD was talking - all day, every day - about systemic racism, police brutality, and the violence white supremacy perpetuates. WURD is a place where people come together to talk and listen, to share pain, and to mobilize power as a part of the ongoing resistance. This episode features WURD hosts Solomon Jones (“Wake Up with WURD”), Syreeta Martin (“Save Space”), JoAnn Bell (“The Source with The Black Women’s Leadership Council”), and Brother Shomari (“Groundings”).

And, since racism permeates all aspects of American life, including the health care system, she knew this crisis would hit Black people and businesses harder. The station stepped up in so many ways.
