In this episode, we meet Rosina, a seasoned activist who takes a part-time job at a local nonprofit while caring for her terminally ill sister. Though she loves mentoring high school students, she quickly sees the inequities facing staff—low wages, no bonuses, and a leadership blind to their struggles. After her proposal for pay equity is dismissed by the board, Rosina seizes another chance to spark change: a rally at the state capital. By elevating the voices of two students and their mom, she transforms the event, swaying legislators and even inspiring her executive director to rethink how the organization treats its own employees. Rally is a story of courage, strategy, and the power of speaking truth—on the stage and behind the scenes.
