2020: Looking Back and Paving the Way Forward
The landscape of activism saw tremendous change in 2020. Multiple dimensions of human life needed greater attention and care, and the individual's role as an activist in society became more defined. In light of this, we wanted to take the time to reflect on this past year, learn from our experiences, and try to articulate our vision for the future of activism and social transformation. To help us do this, we asked four of our friends who have previously been on the podcast to share their thoughts. Take a listen to what Ameer Abdul, Macy Lee, Cyrus Rad, and Ushab Dahal had to say about 2020!
