From Privilege to Progress: #ShowUp The Opt-In

    • Society & Culture

Melissa DePino + Michelle Saahene tweeted the Starbucks arrest of two Black men for not buying a coffee.  The tweet was heard around the world to the extent that Starbucks shut down for a day of retraining. What has unfurled is their joint venture From Privilege to Progress (P2P), a national movement to desegregate the public conversation about racism. Listen to their vastly different experiences and how their worlds collided and converged to now call on all Americans to join on the path to antiracism by learning, showing up in their everyday lives and amplifying the voices of people of color on social media.
