We’re hitting the rewind button on Season Four of Liberty Hill’s award-winning podcast, Conversations from the Frontlines!

In this final episode of the season, Liberty Hill President & CEO Shane Murphy Goldsmith sits down with LA’s leading frontline organizers—Ivette Ale-Ferlito (La Defensa), Derek Steele (Social Justice Learning Institute), and Jared Rivera (PICO California)—to unpack this season’s organizing theories and reveal how they hold up in the real world.

Together, they’ll revisit the organizing theories explored throughout Season Four—ideas from leading scholars and authors like Stephanie Luce, Paul Engler, Mark Engler, Hamilton Nolan, David Callahan, and Marshall Ganz—and delve into what it really takes to turn big ideas into on-the-ground activism and community power.
