Criminal Justice Reform and the "Poverty Scam"
The Texas Fair Defense Project, which sponsors the Austin Justice Coalition, focuses on ending the criminalization of poverty and removing bail bonds. The hosts argue that donations intended for "Black Lives Matter" are being diverted to consultants and lobbyists who profit from maintaining a dependent class. They characterize these small non-profits as a "scam of epic proportions" that manipulates well-meaning but under-informed donors.
