We take stock of the last month of local activism with some of the people behind it: young women of color in Boston, who are pushing for real change.

We hear from Hodan Hashi, one of the forces behind Black Boston, who helped organize a massive march and rally for George Floyd in Boston. Also, we hear from Vikiana Petit-Homme, a regional organizing director for March For Our Lives.

This segment aired on July 1, 2020.
