Our Naptown Breakdown starts with two encouraging updates. First we hear a message from Shaka A. Shakur that he sent after finally receiving a copy of his book, Manifestations of Thought: When the Dragon Comes (1804 Books). Up next is an update from our phone zap for Jose “Danny” Ortiz, who alerted us to ongoing medical neglect at Miami “Correctional” Facility. We received confirmation that an Ombudsman is going to Miami prison to investigate the situation. However, we need to keep the pressure on so be sure to keep calling, emailing, and sharing the phone zap. Finally, co-hosts Dani Abdullah and Derek Ford discuss another incident of the IMPD lying and highlight a press conference by the family of Lamonte and Lamar Johnson hosted by the Indy Liberation Center on April 2.
For our main segment, Dr. Clary speaks on what compelled her to write, direct, and act in her award-winning film, “Three Corners of Deception,” which is partially based on her own experience and available for streaming on Prime. For over 16 years, her ex-husband, Attorney Michael Gosh, has conspired with various judges to stalk, attack, and bankrupt Dr. Clary. This entire time, she has fought vigorously. In 2024, ANSWER Indiana and other member-groups of the Indy Liberation Center joined her struggle. Dr. Clary is now going on the offensive, and she and Derek discuss how Gosh and his latest collaborator, Attorney Jane G. Cotton, illegally and absurdly used a copyrighted image of Dr. Clary against her. As the interview was recorded before her March 27 court date, toward the end of the show we receive an update based on one of our organizers who attended the hearing with Dr. Clary.
This week’s Circle City Shout Out goes to the Quills Coffee Shop workers who recently unionized their shop on 941 N. Meridian St. Baristas are now part of Service Employees International Union branch 32BJ SEIU. Quills’ workers remind us of what people can do when we come together and organize.
