The Facing Race conference, coordinated by Race Forward this November in Atlanta, brought together some of the most noteworthy names in progressive organizing right now. This week on the show, we have a special compilation of interviews from the conference with these very activists.
Laura speaks with Tarso Luís Ramos, executive director of Political Research Associates, about the unusual emergence of the far right across the world; Kim Diehl of the National Employment Law Project, on strategy for progressive movements; Cara Shufelt and Jessica Campbell, of the Rural Organizing Project, on supporting rural mobilizations and Oregon’s patriot movement; and Esha Pandit, from the Center for Advancing Innovative Policy, on reproductive justice victories in Texas.
