As social justice movements come to terms with the daily undoing of progress by the Trump administration, the podcast “How We Build This” considers how individuals and groups can take action in a time of rising authoritarianism and shrinking rights.
In each episode, host May Boeve, a longtime climate organizer in the Bay Area and founding Executive Director of 350.org, talks with seasoned leaders from other progressive movements about the road ahead.
In this episode, author and strategist Heather McGhee explains why authenticity plus clear, repeatable policy attracts volunteers and voters. Her book, The Sum of Us, examines the real costs of zero-sum thinking. This was first released in November 2025.
