sites.libsyn.comNext Comes What: Time to Act — Fighting Ignorance While We Still CanThe dismantling of our government has begun, which means fighting ignorance is critical.

She considers the different kinds of ignorance we're facing and strategies for overcoming it. Building community groups and coalitions, understanding peoples' needs and what motivates them, and easing the suffering that's already been unleashed—addressing these harms will also help us get ready to take bigger actions as Americans.
