Protests against the war in Gaza are continuing at Emory University and other campuses across the country.

On this episode of “Plugged In,” WABE politics reporters Rahul Bali and Sam Gringlas speak with criminal justice reporter Chamian Cruz, who was at Emory as law enforcement began removing protestors, and education reporter Juma Sei, who’s been tracking the fallout at Emory and other colleges, where students are calling on their schools to divest from companies that do business with Israel.

“Plugged In” is a Georgia politics roundup from the WABE newsroom. From under the Gold Dome or across the state, reporters Sam Gringlas and Rahul Bali talk to politicians and experts to break down each week’s biggest headlines in Georgia. Combining Sam and Rahul’s seasonal podcasts “Gold Dome Scramble” and “Georgia Votes,” “Plugged In” brings context to Georgia’s politics news each week.
