The conversation takes a deeper turn as we discuss the power of movementsUsing Heather's picture alongside civil rights hero Fannie Lou Hamer as our springboard, we dive deeper to analyze the impact of various movements and campaigns in shaping our society. We examine the significance of the civil rights movement, the labor movement, the Black Lives Matter movement, and the climate justice movement. We also discuss Heather's visionary work in creating the Midwest Academy, her strategy chart, and her aspirations for future training of organizers and activists
