Ep 1: Walking with Our People, with Richard Wallace

In this episode, we hear from Richard Wallace, a Chicago native and organizer with Equity and Transformation (EAT), working with system-impacted individuals in the informal economy. He shares his journey, from incarceration to poetry to leadership. We gain insight into how young Chicago leaders like Richard, Fresco Steez and Charlene Carruthers are building on the legacy of Black freedom fighters like Mama Akua and Fred Hampton - while finding new political tactics to meet this moment.
