In this episode of Now You Know, we meet Isaiah Martin. Isaiah’s story pushes the boundaries of what a modern campaign can look like—unfolding across social media, community meetings, and even a night behind bars. Recently jailed for what he describes as political retaliation, Isaiah turned the experience into a moment of community organizing.

In this episode, Knowa asks Isaiah how next-gen leadership holds up when it’s digital by design and everything’s on the line. Isaiah breaks down the strategy behind his TikTok presence and block-by-block organizing.

In this episode, Knowa talks with Peter Hubbard, Commissioner on the Georgia Public Service Commission (PSC), about what he's accomplished, and how Democrats can win the midterm elections by leading with solutions and "receipts" on the issues voters feel every month.

We get into the real mechanics: how the five-member PSC sets your electricity and gas rates, why bills rose six times before Hubbard arrived, and how clean energy is a long-term cost play. Then the big one — data centers and the water-supply risk to Georgia communities. Plus the third Democratic seat with Sheila Edwards, the Keisha Lance Bottoms / Burt Jones / Rick Jackson governor's race, and the Trump administration's impact on your energy bills.

With Thanksgiving approaching, Knowa frames the episode as a moment of reflection and responsibility: a time when many families gather, give thanks, and think about freedom—while thousands of people remain incarcerated pre-trial or wrongfully convicted. Lauren Bright Pacheco’s new season of Wrongful Conviction brings that tension into sharp focus, highlighting overlooked stories, investigative failures, and families who continue fighting through the holidays. 

From there, Knowa makes it clear he’s only scratching the surface. His curiosity is shifting toward how influencers amplifying cases or partnering with organizations like the Reform Alliance can shift public pressure toward policy change. 

Then, Fulton County Sheriff Patrick Labat breaks down why celebrity arrests at Fulton County Jail end up revealing the same systemic issues everyday residents face. When high-profile figures go through intake and publicly describe overcrowding, slow processing, or poor conditions, it draws rare national attention to problems that wrongfully convicted people and pre-trial detainees endure for far longer. Sheriff Labat uses these moments to contextualize the county’s ongoing challenges: insufficient funding, safer infrastructure, and the cascading impact of understaffing on jail conditions.
