2020 was a year of dramatic change \\u2013 social, economic, cultural. So what did we learn? And what can we take with us into 2021 and beyond?


Joining the podcast is civil rights activist, co-founder of Campaign Zero, and host of the award-winning \\u201cPod Save the People,\\u201d DeRay Mckesson. DeRay sits down with Salesforce Senior Managing Director Lola Banjo to discuss how he got started in activism, what it takes to bring about lasting change, and what you can do locally in your community to be an ally. In his words:


\\u201cWhat I've learned in the social justice space over the years is that there is infinitely more work done on the problems than the solutions\\u2026 I don't need another speech. I don't need a march. I don't need a workshop. I don't need a movie. I got it. The question becomes, what do we do? How do we do it? And I think that is messy work.\\u201d
