Attorney Gerald Griggs on Voting Rights, Private Prisons, and Black Power in Georgia
About this episode
Attorney Gerald Griggs discusses the economics of civil rights and the impact of legislation on Black wealth in Georgia.
It costs $300,000 to $400,000 a year just to protect voting rights in Georgia. The SAVE Act would charge you $33 to $130 for a new ID just to vote. DEI rollbacks are cutting off SBA loans and grant funding to Black businesses right now. Attorney Gerald Griggs sat down with Butternomics and unpacked the economics of civil rights, how legislation is quietly hitting Black wealth, and why Georgia has the highest rate of people under state control in the entire country. He also dropped a number that should stop every Black professional in Atlanta: 2.2 million registered voters. A governor's race takes 1.9 million. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
