“Hope is the belief that our tomorrows can be better than our todays. Hope is not magic; hope is work.” – DeRay Mckesson
In the face of violence and racism, how do we keep believing in change? A leader in the Black Lives Matter movement, co-founder of the Campaign Zero police reform campaign and host of podcast Pod Save the People, Mckesson places the idea of shared hope for a better future at the core of his activism.
Join DeRay Mckesson as he encourages us to take responsibility for imagining, then building, the world we want to live in.
In conversation with Faustina Agolley.
