In partnership with ActBlue, this is Build the Change. I’m Alok Vaid-Menon — an author, poet, actor, advocate… and your host from season one.
In this miniseries, we’re bringing you stories of the incredible work people are doing on the ground, right now, in anticipation of this historic election. In these next few episodes, you’ll hear from our lead producer, Edie Allard, who will bring you fascinating conversations with folks making change in their communities — whether it’s getting Democrats on the ballot in red counties or organizing fundraisers for their favorite candidates.
In discovering these stories, we found that every path to action is unique — but maybe you’ll see yourself in some of these people who decided to take action. And maybe… you’ll want to build some change of your own. Welcome back.
