    Rashad Robinson on Why Visibility Doesn't Equal Power & How to Actually Win the Fights That Matter

    In this deeply engaging conversation, Lurie Daniel Favors welcomes back Rashad Robinson to walk through the first chapter of his essential book 'From Presence to Power.' Robinson, who led Color of Change for years, breaks down a critical distinction that too many activists miss: being visible and being powerful are not the same thing. Using Hurricane Katrina as a case study, he contrasts Kanye West's cathartic 'George Bush doesn't care about Black people' moment with Mike Pence's behind-the-scenes policy work that actually shaped New Orleans' future. The discussion touches on everything from climate disasters in Indiana to the difference between tactics and strategy, offering practical frameworks for anyone trying to create real change. This isn't just theory—it's a roadmap for building power in communities that desperately need it. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
