Summary
Systems don’t change by accident. They change when we rethink where power lives, who holds it, and how we build toward something new together. Steve Phillips is the founder of Democracy in Color and author of Brown Is the New White and How We Win the Civil War . Today, he traces how America’s demographic and political shifts connect to the long arc of the civil rights movement and what it really takes to build a multiracial democracy. He also tells us how to fund people, build trust, and move money in ways that drive real change.
