Survivor History is American History with Tarana Burke

Iconic activist, author and ‘me too’ Movement founder Tarana Burke joins Sarah Jones to discuss one of America’s biggest problems: the refusal to grow beyond its history and current perpetuation of violence, including sexual violence. Tarana has solutions, from exploring this country’s true history of unacknowledged survivors, to galvanizing the 60 million survivors in the US into a powerful voting block (which anyone identifying as a survivor can join at )—plus she reminds us to lean into our JOY.
