On this episode of the Mothers Justice Radio Show, guest host Chukundi Salisbury sits down with members of the Washington Coalition for Police Accountability for a powerful, unfiltered conversation about police violence, accountability, and the urgent need for systemic reform.

The discussion centers on the killing of L.J. Causey, Jr.—a father of three—and exposes the stark gap between police de-escalation policies and real-world practice.

This episode is both a tribute to lives lost and a call to action—highlighting how impacted families are leading statewide efforts to change policy, demand transparency, and protect future generations. If you care about justice, public safety, and accountability in Washington State, this is a conversation you need to hear in full.

This episode of Mothers Justice Radio goes beyond headlines and soundbites.

In a candid, wide-ranging conversation, Seattle City Councilmember Rob Saka joins the show to discuss public safety, police accountability, and the complex realities communities are navigating right now — from policy decisions at City Hall to the lived experiences of families most impacted by violence and the justice system.

Rather than quick answers, this episode leans into nuance: how accountability, prevention, community trust, and governance intersect — and where the hard conversations still need to happen.

If you care about where Seattle is headed, how decisions are being made, and what real accountability looks like beyond talking points, this is a conversation worth hearing in full.

In this powerful and deeply personal episode of the Mothers Justice Show, guest host Chukundi Salisbury Sr. sits down in studio with his brother, journalist and media founder Omari “Big O” Salisbury, for a wide-ranging conversation that moves seamlessly between legacy, accountability, and the urgent need for truth in public storytelling.

The discussion traces the launch of The Big O Show and its place within the Converge Media ecosystem—but quickly turns to the unresolved trauma of the 2020 Seattle protests and the devastating case of Antonio Mays Jr., the 16-year-old who was killed in the CHOP. Omari recounts, in detail, his recent court testimony and the shocking revelation that he unknowingly captured Antonio on video days before his death—footage that challenges the City of Seattle’s long-standing narrative and raises profound questions about justice, memory, and whose voices are allowed to be heard.

This episode is not performative and it is not sanitized. It is a raw, principled conversation about grief, integrity, media responsibility, and what it means to stand on truth even when it comes at a cost. Grounded in family, community, and lived experience, this is an essential listen for anyone who wants to understand the real human stakes behind headlines, protests, and policy.

Listen in full to hear the stories that were nearly erased—and why telling them still matters.

This week, host Chukundi Salisbury (filling in for Reverend Walden) sits down with his mentor, the influential Representative Dawn Mason, for a profound discussion on community leadership and activism.

Rep. Mason, who recently received the "Key to the City," emphasizes that her civic honors represent the collective work of all those she supports. The episode focuses on the urgency of educational justice, with Mason detailing her work with the Rainier Valley Leadership Academy and her vision for ensuring every child is reading at grade level by third grade.

A major highlight is the exciting news about a victory for Seattle's youth: the SPD's Mounted Patrol was disbanded, and its gear, including saddles, was transferred to the Buffalo Soldiers program at the Red Barn Ranch. This initiative, now partially funded for six years by the Family & Education Levy, offers constructive, culturally relevant programs to our children.
