The presidential election left many folks feeling discouraged and defeated. But it also energized people looking to plug in and start helping their neighbors right now — but how? And where? And beyond performative allyship, how do you actually make a difference? Host Bree Davies sits down with Tran Wills, a longtime business owner and organizer in Denver, to lay out the most effective ways to use your time, resources, and expertise to help your community in this moment.
These are the organizations we mentioned in this episode:
Struggle of Love Foundation
Mutual Aid Monday
Southwest Denver Coalition
Servicios de la Raza
HAND
Planned Parenthood
Trans Continental Pipeline
