State of Resistance with Sally Kohn Cadence13

While Sally tours the country for her new book THE OPPOSITE OF HATE, the podcast will be on a short hiatus. In the meantime, Sally recorded a song for you. And then go listen to the great back episodes.

Recorded at the TuneIn stage at the SXSW festival in Austin, Texas, Sally talks with Jolt’s Cristina Tzintzun and NARAL Pro-Choice Texas’s Heather Busby about their work fighting for justice and equality in the Texas climate — and how they, and others, are changing the state for the better

Vanita Gupta, head of the Civil Rights Division in Obama's Department of Justice and now head of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, talks about where we are and where we're going

Stoneman Douglas students Adam Alhanti and Dylan Baierlein talk about the school shooting and the activism its awakened since, including how they both became engaged in the gun control debate and their message for politicians standing in the way of change. “Everyone who lived through that shooting will soon be able to vote.”  

Immigrant rights activist Gabe Gonzalez is helping organize citizens and businesses in his Chicago neighborhood in the event of mass raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents — raids that are already starting to happen in 7-11s and schools and workplaces across the country. Sally hears Gabe’s tips on how you can organize your own community to resist raids. Plus a special, adorable guest.  

Political scientist Erica Chenoweth has studied political resistance movements worldwide over the last century. She tells Sally that non-violent resistance movements are more effective. And she shares the magic percent of a nation’s population that, when engaged, leads to a peaceful revolution.
