Ep. 5: Talking Activism with Bubba Wallace

What Matters?

Only we, as a community, can answer that. So, BLM brought four very different people together to have a candid community conversation about the issues that matter most to us. We can’t wait for any party or president to address the needs of our people directly. We have to do it ourselves.

The purpose of Black Lives Matter’s ”What Matters” podcast is to explore how we can address our problems together rather than settling for the typical two-party system and accepting the lack of investment in Black communities that we’ve seen for decades.

Our community is diverse and multifaceted, and we recognize that no one-size-fits-all solution exists.
