A Majority of Voters Have Endorsed Cruelty. So Now What?

A Majority of Voters Have Endorsed Cruelty. So Now What?

What do the results of the presidential election tell us about our country? We asked a veteran movement organizer to reflect on what feels like a rejection of her core values.

To help him make sense of all the post-election feelings, host Kai Wright gets advice from his mentor in the movement for racial and social justice, Rinku Sen. Sen is the executive director of the Narrative Initiative, which focuses on social movements working to root our multiracial democracy in equity and justice. She shares reflections and lessons from her own journey as an organizer and thinker.

Plus, Kai turns to reporter Brandon Tensley, who covers national politics for Capital B News, to break down what we know and don’t know about the incoming Trump Administration, and how he is preparing for what is to come professionally — and personally.
