Dean Spade, Activist and Professor of Law, Seattle University
Mia Birdsong, Activist and Author of "How We Show Up: Reclaiming Family, Friendship, and Community"
As we confront increased targeting of immigrants, trans people, poor people and so many other vulnerable groups, heightening political repression, worsening ecological crisis, rising rent and food prices, an ongoing pandemic, and so much more, how do we stick together? How do we care for each other and build resistance even under severe conditions? How do we focus on what we can do in our own communities rather than hoping that answers will come from politicians, courts, billionaires, or big non-profits? Dean Spade and Mia Birdsong discuss Dean's new book "Love in a F*cked Up World: How to Build Relationships, Hook Up and Raise Hell, Together" and the kinds of bold, rule-breaking, risk-taking resistance that people are taking up to care for each other and save lives right now, and what it takes for us to show up for each other in this moment.
