The event was moderated by Breakfast Club Host Angela Yee and included panelists like social justice advocate and Liberty guard Layshia Clarendon, Garret Temple of the Brooklyn Nets, social justice advocate Topeka K. Sam, and Grammy-nominated artist Rapsody.

The discussion was based on the 2020 national and local elections – criminal justice reform, economic inequality, healthcare, social justice, women’s rights policies – and how using influence can help mobilize and empower the disengaged to exercise their right to vote.

theGrio spoke with Liberty COO Keia Clarke, the longest-tenured employee at Liberty reaching her 10th season this year, to talk about Liberty’s history of social justice advocacy and how the team will continue to activate virtually.

The Liberty continue to make consistent strides to promote social change, and orchestrating their first virtual panel on Juneteenth is their most recent endeavor.

Following this event, Liberty will be launching a virtual pride experience on Monday, June 22, that will include social learning events and more panel discussions in celebration of Pride month.
