Summary

Activist Brittany Packnett Cunningham and journalist Jose Antonio Vargas join Alexandria Beightol to challenge the myth of American freedom. From Ferguson to ICE raids, they expose the lies built into our national story and unpack how Black and immigrant communities are redefining freedom—and why true patriotism means fighting for justice for all. Apathy Is Not an Option is a production of PRX and the Southern Poverty Law Center. Nichole Hill and Mark Pagán are the senior producers and editors. Terence Bernardo handles sound design and mixing. I’m your host Alexandria Beightol. For the SPLC, the executive producers are Cassandra Douglas and Julian Teixeira, with video production by Neil Parekh. From PRX Productions, the project manager is Edwin Ochoa and the EP is Jocelyn Gonzales.
