About this podcast
Justice takes many forms, and Liberty Hill’s work is rooted in the belief that justice requires enabling those closest to the problems to speak on them and to help formulate, and implement, the solutions. So, how are activists seeking to make our society more just? And how are those in power responding? This season will feature three sets of paired episodes, six total, each pair featuring an Grass-Roots Leader (an activist/community member) and an Insider (an elected or appointed official or other more establishment figure) who are each working on this issue.
