This trailer introduces the People in Common podcast, where we speak with inspiring leaders about what we can do about the urgent and overwhelming problems of the world. With powerful stories and recommendations for action, we bridge the gap between movement leaders and those of us who care but arenât sure what to DO.
[00:00:00] Welcome to People in Common. I'm Jema. The world's problems right now are big and overwhelming
[00:00:12] and we feel farther apart than ever but we aren't sure what to do. This is a series of conversations
[00:00:18] with incredible people offering inspiration and practical guidance about how to save our planet
[00:00:27] and the people on it. We lift up the stories from the front lines to help us meet this moment.
[00:00:33] We'll hear from Desmond Mead, Executive Director of the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition
[00:00:38] and Father Greg Boyle, Founder of Homeboy Industries and Kelly Ward Burton,
[00:00:43] Founding President of the National Democratic Redistricting Committee.
[00:00:47] We are People in Common. So glad you joined us.
