Grassroots Zoom After Joe Biden Announcement

Thank you for tuning in to the latest episode of InflexionPoint Podcast where we are dedicated to the art of listening in authentic conversation. We challenge our audience to listen actively and intentionally for the purpose of critical self-reflection, in-depth perspective-taking, personal transformation, and ultimately social impact. The 2024 theme explores the Art of Community Conversations in today's climate of systemic and institutional racism, antiracism activation, Equity Diversity & Inclusion, and book banning. A lot has happened since our last discussion of the Precipice of Change, Project 2025, its legacy, and opposition. In today’s episode we continue our discussion in the spirit of grassroots movement and three elements of change—freedom, opportunity, and justice.

“There is a lot of work to be done to make sure our leaders reflect the people they are supposed to represent. The more diverse a group of decision makers is, the more informed the decision will be. Until we achieve full representation, we all should understand we are falling short of the ideals of our country.” —VP Kamala Harris
