The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way people around the world are getting an education and conducting business. Since March, many tribal events and conferences have been postponed or cancelled.

America Amplified: Election 2020

By

America Amplified: Election 2020 dives into the challenges and concerns facing Americans as they head to the ballot box this November. This six-part, one-hour, weekly talk show airs October 10 – November 14.

Rose Scott with WABE in Atlanta

Rose Scott with WABE in Atlanta

Award-winning WABE journalist Rose Scott will host each show joined by co-hosts across the country, from Connecticut Public Radio, Iowa Public Radio, Native America Calling, KQED in San Francisco and elsewhere.

The series will explore local community perspectives, with a mission to foster dialogue over debate; share experiences; and elevate diverse community perspectives.

Episodes will be driven by the topics and issues raised during ongoing national listening sessions and community engagement led by the America Amplified initiative.

Themes under development for the show include the following:

October 10 – What divides us?

Racism and racial injustice are among many issues dividing us this year. Calls to “defund” the police are answered by calls to “Back the Blue.” We also see deep divisions in how we’re experiencing and responding to the pandemic and to the ongoing environmental crises from the West Coast to the Gulf States. Where do we go from here? And what does this division mean in the midst of this election season?

October 17 – Who has access to the “American Dream” today?

For some, the quest for the “American Dream” is alive and fruitful. For others, it seems practically unattainable. What benefits, challenges and inequities exist for communities when it comes to things like health care, voting access and taxes? And how do differences affect our views of America and its  future?

Tara Gatewood co-hosts October 24, 2020

October 24 – Do you see yourself and your community represented in national media coverage?

When it comes to election coverage, we hear a lot about the candidates and the horse race. As we barrel toward the November 3 vote, what’s been missing from national coverage this election season? Do you feel represented? Do we have the information we need and can trust as we cast our ballots?

October 31 – Pre-election: How are you showing up for our communities? 

With co-hosts from the battleground states of Georgia and Florida, we’ll hear how this election has affected communities across the country. Aside from voting, how are we engaging for change at a local level?

November 7 – Post-election: How do you feel about the country and democracy after the election?

It’s our first weekend post election. We’ll invite guests from previous episodes to reflect on what voting meant this year, and how their communities are reacting in the aftermath.

November 14 – What’s next for us? … How can we rise above, or learn to live with our divisions?

As we near the end of a tumultuous 2020, is there an opening for mutual understanding despite our differences?  And, how can we get there, especially in the aftermath of a contentious election? This show will explore what we’ve lost and gained, what we’ve learned and how we will move forward into 2021.

American Amplified is a 2020 national community engagement and reporting initiative funded by the CPB, and featuring the work of more than fifty collaborating public media organizations.

Native Voice One presents a bonus episode of Natives on a Budget, a podcast all about helping Native folks, and everyone else, manage their finances. To learn more about this podcast, visit nativesonabudget.com. This episode is all about the how scammers are taking advantage of the coronavirus pandemic.

As if we don’t have enough stress right now, scammers have a whole new crop of frauds related to the COVID-19 (also called coronavirus) pandemic. Hosts Shawn and Monica are bringing you a podcast extra on these new scams that are popping up. We talk about a number of ones that are floating around, including the grandparent scam with a COVID twist, stimulus check scams and predatory lending, medical equipment scams and of course good old snake oil, cure scams. Monica talks with someone from the FBI in Albuquerque about what they are keeping an eye on. Just a note, Shawn recorded his part in North Carolina at home, and I recorded mine in New Mexico. We tried to make it sound like we were together. But let’s just say one of us works in radio and one of us does not. Enjoy!

Waiting for Justice in Nome, Alaska

Even after the initial trauma, invasive medical exams, and difficult police questioning, a woman in Nome who reports sexual assault must also confront the likelihood her complaint will go nowhere. She may never learn the fate of her case in the law enforcement system. National Native News takes a look at the climate of fear, mistrust and despair that arises when perpetrators don’t face any consequences. A group of mostly Alaska Native women have been working for years to change the narrative coming from a mostly male, non-Native government and legal structure.

This series is in partnership with the Associated Press with support from the Pulitzer Center and the Fund for Investigative Journalism
