In today's episode we discuss a framework for thinking about activism. It's not the set of actions which raise awareness or lead to change, but the capture of the natural phenomenon of change itself, in the interest of one's community. Our world is constantly evolving, and it is up to us to participate and ensure that as we move forward, we are moving towards a more just world.
