There'll Be No Proud Racists in Santa Clarita, feat. Amanda Sinks (22)

<p>The boys on Mars talk with student, photographer and filmmaker Amanda Sinks about racism in the city of Santa Clarita, which has seen a rise in protests and calls for action demanding the resignation of one of its council members who once referred to himself as a "proud racist" at an anti-immigrant rally in 2010. She talks with us about current and former students at the local high schools anonymously sharing their stories about dealing with bigotry and violence, and about her documentary which will compile filmed testimonials to be given to the city as a call for help, inclusivity and stamping out bigotry in a city famously aimed to be "family-friendly."&nbsp;</p> <p>Listeners who grew up or live in the Santa Clarita Valley and want to provide their own testimonial or help produce and/or promote Amanda's documentary can reach out to her at filmqueenproductions@gmail.com.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>For the listeners who want to financially support groups which have promoted change during this fascinating time, Sebastian has an itemized document you can download or purchase called "Read Their Names." While you can freely download it as an ebook, you can also purchase a physical copy; all royalties will go to the Minnesota Freedom Fund: https://play.google.com/store/books/details?id=QATpDwAAQBAJ&amp;rdid=book-QATpDwAAQBAJ&amp;rdot=1&amp;source=gbs_vpt_read&amp;pcampaignid=books_booksearch_viewport&nbsp;</p> <p>Social media: Mars on Life: @marsonlifeshow on Twitter and Instagram&nbsp;</p> <p>Sebastian Schug: @dr_sebby (Twitter) and @drsebby (Instagram)&nbsp;</p> <p>Ryan Mancini: @mancinira (Twitter) and @manciniryan (Instagram)&nbsp;</p> <p>Amanda Sinks: @pippisinks (Twitter and Instagram)&nbsp;</p> <p>Artwork by Zachary Erberich (@zacharyerberichart)&nbsp;</p> <p>To subscribe to the Mars on Life YouTube channel, head to: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoV7notGRUL9z7sJgvasb0w&nbsp;</p> <p>"Space X-plorers" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons
