Peter Sargent is an organizer. And no, that doesn't mean he's really good at folding shirts and cleaning closets. In his own words, it means he empowers members of communities that are negatively impacted by a societal problem to speak up and create change. Whether it's climate change or gun violence, Peter seeks to bring the underrepresented to the table and ensure the story of their experience is told. In telling his own story, Peter shares with Catherine the three things that enables him to be an effective change maker and the vital ingredients that go into transforming communities.
