We’ll discuss community involvement, public participation, peaceful assembly, and why healthy democracies depend on citizens staying engaged long after Election Day ends. Today’s guest – State Director of Mississippi for Southern Poverty Law Center, Waikinya Clanton

You may be entitled to compensation from our government. The U.S. Department of Justice . . . announced that as a part of the settlement agreement in President Donald J. Trump v. Internal Revenue Service, the Attorney General established “The Anti-Weaponization Fund” to provide a systematic process to hear and redress claims of others who suffered weaponization and lawfare.

The Fund will have the power to issue formal apologies and monetary relief owed to claimants. Submission of a claim is voluntary. There are no partisan requirements to file a claim.

The headline for a PBS News article reads Justice Department announces a $1.7 billion 'Anti-Weaponization' fund to compensate Trump allies.

The application link has not bee publicized as of today’s show but anyone can put in an application. Anyone. Any person can submit a claim for them to process.   

Let’s play a game – think in your head “what’s Liz’s favorite website to give out (outside of MPB?) Can you guess?  If you said “yallvote.ms” you’d be right. The secretary of state’s website with voting information has so much that is relevant to so many folks. AND If you want to know more about Southern Poverty Law Center – check out their own website: https://www.splcenter.org/ to learn about their mission and objectives.
