Inflection Point: "I am powerful by just living" - Sarah McBride, LGBTQ activist

Sarah McBride made history as the first transgender person to speak at a national political convention in 2016. 

In the most challenging moments--the 2016 election results, everyday sexism and misogyny and the death of her young husband--even then she fights to update our laws to protect and include LGBTQ people.

Her vision and focus on achieving a more equal world, where everyone is seen and accepted for who they are, is so clear that it almost seems simple. So why does it have to be so hard to get to that point?

This week on Inflection Point host Lauren Schiller talks with Sarah McBride, LGBTQ activist and author of the new book, “Tomorrow will be different”.
