Millions of us have now become activists: marching, knocking on doors, running for office, and teaching our kids to never look away from the atrocities of racism and white supremacy. Each of us are finding our own path to stand in defense of our communities, our democratic system, and the values to which we aspire.

Host Andrea Hildebran Smith talks with leaders from every aspect of the resistance about how to make an impact that will last, the fight to end gun violence, movements for sustainable economies, defending America’s immigrants, and confronting white supremacy. The show does a deep dive into new frameworks for protecting speech and civil rights online. We also have a particular focus on our responsibilities to the next generation: engaging youth activists, and figuring out how to at once protect and prepare kids for the challenges built into the world they will inherit.
