Activists resisting the Trump administration have been organizing protests, mobilizing voters, and running for office. They have opposed restrictions on immigration, advocated for women’s rights, and spoken out against racial injustice. More than 250 Women’s March anniversary actions are planned for January 20. We’ll ask local organizers: Where has the movement succeeded, and what’s to come in 2018?

Guests:

Kate Schatz, feminist activist, author of Rad American Women: A-Z and Rad American Women Worldwide, and founder of Solidarity Sundays, a network of feminists who gather every second Sunday to get politically engaged

Kimi Lee, organizer and director of Bay Rising, a regional alliance of groups focused on the agendas of working-class communities of color in Bay Area government
