Activism 101 Podcast
This podcast follows local activism efforts I am spearheading to address the surveillance state in Lexington, Ky. Through this series, you will get an inside look at boots-on-the-ground activism as it happens. The goal is to create a step-by-step how-to on tackling issues at the local level. As we update with new episodes, you’ll be able to access them on this page.
