We conducted this interview before the election, but the insights in this article from @DSchrantz about what it takes to organize a multiracial coalition that can contest for real power feels very more urgent now

Enjoyed listening to @hahrie.bsky.social in conversation with @seanmcarroll.bsky.social.

Great point on teaching people to be adaptive agents that respond to uncertain environments rather than automatons who respond formulaically to scripted scenarios.

Applies to so many situations!

Hammer and Hope just published one of the most mind-blowing, heart-opening convos I've had with an organizer in recent times.

Read these powerful reflections from Kandace Montgomery re: leading Black Visions in Minneapolis before and after George Floyd.
