Practicing Politics: Nelini Stamp, Rev angel Kyodo williams, Anasa Troutman, Carinne Luck

This episode on practicing politics features Nelini Stamp from Working Families Party, Rev angel Kyodo williams author of Radical Dharma, Anasa Troutman of the Big We and Carinne Luck, a well known organizer and activist.

What I learned from this conversation is that building a politics of care is multidimensional. It’s telling a new story of who we are and who we are becoming, it’s building community depth and power wherever you are, it’s going up against old systems of oppression even while we dream up new systems of liberation. And it’s doing the internal work of decolonizing and deconstructing our own beliefs so that we can live into our greatest potential together.

This is the practice of politics that is internal and external, that is individual and collective, that is cultural and systemic, that is tactical and transformative, that is resistant and imaginative. And as Nelini reminds us, we can be all those things. And we need to.
