DeRay Mckesson on the Case for Hope

In his new book, the activist and organizer DeRay Mckesson writes that “Faith is the belief that certain outcomes will happen; and hope the belief that certain outcomes can happen. He writes compellingly about faith, hope, and the work of social justice in this new era of civil rights activism, shaped by the Black Lives Matter Movement, and operating in a social media environment that has dramatically altered the capacity of organizers to direct protest in ways that only a few years ago were unimaginable. The book is called On the Other Side of Freedom: The Case for Hope, and is out now. We livestreamed this conversation. To see the video, click here.
