What does effective activism actually look like, and why does so much of it begin with simply listening? Charlie Euchner, author of Rules of Activism, explores the power of grassroots organizing, one-on-one conversations, focused agendas, and turning public gatherings into sustained action. He shares lessons from figures including Martin Luther King Jr., Bayard Rustin, Ella Baker, and Fannie Lou Hamer, along with the story of Marian Dixon, an unlikely activist who became a powerful community leader. Charlie also explains why social media can amplify a movement but cannot replace the human connections that make organizing work. This conversation offers a practical look at how people can listen, organize, build coalitions, and turn shared concerns into action.
