How to Move from Ally to Accomplice

In partnership with our friends at MINI Cooper

Published on:

DeRay Mckesson—civil rights activist, author of On the Other Side of Freedom, and host of the podcast Pod Save the People—gives us all a reason to feel hopeful. Part of Mckesson’s work is rooted in the highest form of make-believe: telling stories about a more just future, a world we haven’t seen yet. The next part of this important work is getting people ready to live in that world. Our broken systems, Mckesson reminds us, were made up—and so we can make better ones. For many of us, this requires understanding our privilege and seeing that we can use it now for good. But you can (and should) start small, Mckesson says. And whatever you do, get curious: “Find your thing and fight like hell.”
