#058 — The State of Activism (with Brooke Shaw)

THE ATARAXY PODCAST

Brooke joins us this week to talk about the state of activism, and how it has become harder to determine what is performative and which is genuine. We entertain what it may take to create a revolution and how power can corrupt a movement.
