Community organizing has always been the most effective tool of the oppressed. Throughout our history and across our diaspora, Black folks have broken links in the chain of oppression and created new possibilities for Black liberation to take shape by developing grassroots leaders as strategists, activists, organizers and movement builders. In this episode, we highlight Pillars of the Community, an organization that embodies what it means to actualize the hopes and dreams of Black Californians experiencing the harshest forms of de facto and de jure oppression through the power of community organizing.
