Mother Jones - November/December 2020

I denne utgaven

With the election fast approaching, our “Make It Stop” issue dives deep into this high-
stakes moment with Pema Levy’s feature “The Social Network,” highlighting an effective
campaign method that showed results even before the pandemic upended traditional
mobilization efforts. Adam Hochschild looks at the transformative movement to break
the cycle of punitive justice in “Break It Up,” and Edwin Rios goes inside the decades-
long effort to get police out of Oakland’s schools in “Cop Out.” Also on the school front,
Daniel C. Vock asks whether GreatSchools, the go-to source for information on local
schools, may be making segregation worse. And learn about the history of the Negro
Leagues; the photographers who unwillingly joined the Shot in the Eye Club; and the
reasons Susan Collins’ brand is growing old with seniors.
