America is under attack by the wolves in the federal government who are chewing it apart. As the nation spirals into confusion and despair, we are left wondering—why does it feel like no one is fighting back? As Harvey Milk said, “Get out of the bars and into the streets!” Now more than ever, we need to step away from our screens, show up in public spaces, and organize. In the absence of leadership, it’s up to all of us to lead. As a protégé of Harvey Milk, Cleve Jones became a key figure in the gay rights movement in the ‘70s and he became the creator of the AIDS Memorial Quilt, one of history’s most powerful public memorials. Cleve’s activism spans decades, from fighting the Reagan administration’s neglect of the AIDS crisis to today’s labor rights battles. Listen as we take a look at: • AIDS denialist Robert Kennedy Jr. as Trump’s Secretary of Health. • Why language matters, let’s stop calling Democrats "Dems." • Why grassroots movements need to come out of the closet to organize effectively.
