This week, we’ve invited two inspiring activists on the forefront of the push for Police Reform, for a two-part special. In Part One, we’ll talk with DeRay McKesson and then in Part Two, we’ll sit down with Arthur Rizer. In this episode Deray McKesson explains and helps us understand what kinds of police reform are impactful and how the movement can gain momentum. Walker and I both learned a tremendous amount from this conversation, and that's why we are so excited to share it with our listeners.
DeRay McKesson is a leader in the BlackLivesMatter movement, a co-founder of CampaignZero -- a leading police reform advocacy group, and a host of the podcast Pod Save the People. He helped organize the 2014 protests in Ferguson, Missouri, later winning recognition from Forbes Magazine as One of the World’s Greatest Leaders in 2015 and from Time Magazine as One of the 30 Most Influential People on the Internet, in 2015.
