We're joined this week by David S. Meyer, professor of sociology at University of California Irvine. We talk about how activists lay the groundwork for mass movements, a letter to an aspiring young activist, the commonalities between movements ranging from gay rights and Black Lives Matter to the climate movement, and how simply raising your voice about the issues you care about can send a signal to "stiffen the spines of allies who see the prospect of doing something."
