Best Of: Voices for Justice in the Golden State

This week, we are showcasing selections from three previous episodes featuring California-based voices for change. We begin with Kazu Haga joined in February 2020 by CIIS professor and restorative justice expert Sonya Shah for a conversation about his life, his experiences utilizing Kingian Nonviolence, and his book, Healing Resistance. The second selection features Boots Riley, the writer and director of the movie Sorry To Bother You, and lead singer of The Coup discussing creativity and activism with Bay Area writer Chinaka Hodge live on stage in September 2018. We close the episode with an excerpt of an inspiring conversation recorded live in San Francisco in November 2019 featuring Dolores Huerta. Latinx studies professor Maria L. Quintana talked with Dolores about her life and work as a revolutionary and inspirational leader dedicated to activism, feminism, and the future of America. This episode contains explicit language.
