Deepa Iyer: The Ecosystem of Social Justice Work – Finding Our Place on the Map

This week Laura talks with award-winning author, lawyer, and strategist Deepa Iyer. Deepa and the organization she works with, Building Movement Project, create building blocks for activist organizations to translate their desires to create change into concrete practices they can implement. These two activists connect on their belief that how we do the work is just as important as what the work is, and that we can't delegate social change work to people in the nonprofit sector or to activists. We all have important roles to play, no matter what our jobs and identities are. They talk about Deepa’s upcoming book and how to maintain hope, even amidst all that can feel daunting and overwhelming.
