Out d’Coup LIVE | Alyssa Bowen, Senior Researcher & Manager Editor for Truth North Research, on expanded right-wing strategy to dominate school boards

<p>This week I welcome Alyssa Bowen back to the show. Alyssa is a Senior Researcher and Managing Editor for the progressive watchdog group, True North Research. Tonight we'll be talking about her recent article in TruthOut, "The Right has Expanded Its Dark Money Strategy for Dominating School Boards." If we thought we'd get a break from extremism in our school board elections, we were VERY wrong. </p> <p>Alyssa received her PhD in History from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill in 2021 with an interest in fascism and antifascism, solidarity and social movements, immigration/exile and transnational history. She has bylines in the Nation and in Truthout, where she is a regular contributor. More of her public writing can be found on True North Research’s website and Substack. </p> <p>Follow Alyssa on Twitter @AlyssaAnnBowen</p> <p>LINKS:</p> <ul><li>Alyssa Bowen, "The Right Has Expanded Its Dark Money Strategy for Dominating School Boards," TruthOut | <a href='https://bit.ly/3HG4ab1'>https://bit.ly/3HG4ab1</a></li> <li>Lisa Graves & Alyssa Bowen, "Tax Docs Link Right-Wing 'Parents Group' to Leonard Leo’s Dark Money Network," TruthOut | <a href='https://bit.ly/3RWIIDn'>https://bit.ly/3RWIIDn</a></li> </ul> <p>RESOURCES:</p> <ul><li>True North Research: <a href='https://truenorthresearch.org/'>https://truenorthresearch.org/</a></li> <li>Documented: <a href='https://documented.net/'>https://documented.net/</a></li> <li>Center for Media and Democracy: <a href='https://www.prwatch.org/'>https://www.prwatch.org/</a></li> <li>Racial Justice Training Series with H.E.A.L.
