Welcome to the second episode of How We Get Free Podcast! Tiffany is joined by her close friend Keron Blair. Keron starts by sharing the story of how he got started in organizing and why he always says yes! Keron also describes the gaps that he’s seeing in the organizing movement and describes his definition of a “movement”. The duo breaks down the word “movement” and if you can actually build a movement or just support one.

Keron Blair is the Chief of Field and Organizing at the New Georgia Project, and Jamaican immigrant based out of Atlanta, GA and advisor to many social change organizations on the state wide level.
