Sunstorm with Alicia Garza & Ai-jen Poo

Academy Award Winning Director Alfonso Cuaron joins the Ai-jen to discuss Roma and changing cultural narratives.

Heather McGhee on how we played ourselves - what racism costs everyone.

Making change is a lifetime of work and Ai-jen & Alicia are in it for the long haul.

Through The Disability Visibility Project and other channels, Alice Wong’s work has challenged beliefs about what disability is—and who disabled people are. She explains the far-reaching impact of the disability rights movement, how it has sharpened other avenues of activism, and how the broader progressive movement falls short when it comes to inclusion and accessibility. She’s even got a gentle call-in for Ai-jen and Alicia: Too often, conversations about care center workers and policymakers, leaving users of care on the sidelines. Plus: The problem with resilience, how Covid exposed our unwillingness to value disabled lives, why “back to normal” isn’t an option, and lots of excitement about Alice’s forthcoming memoir.

We can all citizen as a verb. It's our duty!

A legend gives us lessons on turning anxiety into action.

We have the opportunity to redefine our relationship to Mother Nature, and Tara Houska is on the frontlines.

We can win our future by taking care of our bodies and each other.

We don't have to figure out everything on our own. Errin Haines is here for that.

What now? What have we learned, and what do we still need to figure out? Ai-jen and Alicia reflect.
