It's Election Day, and Brittany's focusing on those long lines at
the polls. For years there's been a lot of talk about voter
disenfranchisement - especially for Black and Brown voters who wait
for hours to cast a ballot. But Brittany's guest thinks of those
lines differently.

Sami Schalk is the author of Black Disability Politics. She argues
that by focusing on the intersection of disability and Black
liberation you can find creative ways to address systemic
oppression. Long lines are just one example of where Black and
disabled oppression meet.
