On our June 2020 episode of The Voice of Oregon’s Workers, we catch up with Lamar Wise, a Political Coordinator with Oregon AFSCME and an organizer on the frontlines of the Black Lives Matter movement with Rose City Justice.  Learn about how Black Lives Matter demonstrators are adapting to the COVID-19 pandemic, linking protests to local policies, and building an incredibly inspiring and crucial  movement from the ground up.
