i want to start with you, latasha. know you are exhausted because you've been on the ground for years, decades fighting this. now that we see this, it's not just florida, it's texas, it's arizona. there are 367 bills over 47 states. i'm curious, what's our recourse? what does the work of black voters matter as our very democracy is under attack at the state and local level? >> this is the moment that we have to dig in. we have to fight at a greater level. we have to really recognize this is the moment just like we saw in georgia in 2018, the way. >> maria: sponded to it, we organized ourselves and came out more powerful and stronger. the same thing came out in 2020 and the runoff election and in response to what's happening now. three approaches. one, i think we have to organize and register people. we need more people engaged in a process, informed and educated. the second thing is we've got to take this to the courts. we're planning on filing a lawsuit. there are other organizations. we have to take this fight to the

. >> and so, latasha, back into the conversation, we're having a washington conversation, that's where the show is based and the family is meeting with high power officials in washington. we saw promises from governors, mayors, state legislatures, here's what we know happened. there were 572 bills introduced across 46 states in the district of columbia, so there were a lot of promises of action. 54 of those measures were enacted, different kinds of police reforms and proposals in 24 states. so it is a big issue, and was a big issue in the rearview mirror. i want you to listen, new york city is about to have a mayoral primary, police reform is giant issue right now. >> defund the police is the wrong approach for new york city. >> i'm going to take a billion dollars from the new york city police department to shift that money to create trauma informed care in our schools. i'm going to have a civilian police commissioner because we are going to make it a truly accountable police force to the public. >> safety is not synonymous with policing, our communities are overpoliced, and underresou
