"We Are Family, and We Care!"--Kansas People's Agenda, January 10, 2018

This young lady--Ashanti Spears--is one of the dynamic organizers of the Kansas People's Agenda. She gave the next-to-last speech at the People's State of the State in the Capitol on January 10, 2018.

She emphasized that collective action can be hard work. It requires listening with humility; accepting our own fallibility; coexisting with discomfort; reaching out to others; leaving our little enclaves; lifting up those who are hardest hit and most marginalized.
