In times of uncertainty and social upheaval, it takes vision and leadership to help people feel safe, empowered and included. Demonstrating that vision often means going public and taking your cause to the streets. In this hour of GBH Amplifies, two very different hosts with different backgrounds lead conversations about how true community and effective change is brought about through organizing.

At 1 pm, Reggie Ramos, the Executive Director of Transportation for Massachusetts, hosts a discussion with Tiffany Cogell
of the Boston Cyclists Union, Katarina Torres Radisic of the Riders’ Transportation Access Group (RTAG), and Brendan Kearney ofWalkMassachusetts. Together they'll discuss the streets as shared spaces to ignite civil discourse and social cohesion. In this episode, we talk to advocates for pedestrians, cyclists, people with disabilities who interact with daily transportation as a tool for equity, democracy and collective action.

Then at 2 pm, Ron Bell, community leader and founder of Dunk the Vote leads a conversation on how Boston’s Black community can remain strong in the face of current forces at odds with notions of unity, and resilience. He and his guests, urban historian Dr. Karilyn Crockettand Bishop William E. Dickerson of Greater Love Tabernacle, will discuss the importance of putting boots on the ground and having a good “street game,” not just social media campaigns or splashy rallies.

American women face immense pressure to conform to unrealistic expectations. GBH Amplifies features seven women who have found their power and defined themselves in spaces where they can have an impact; from the office to the stage, from the halls of government to the delivery room. They expect the freedom to show up authentically, feel safe, get care for their loved ones and enjoy some moments of serenity and joy.

Malia Lazu, Founder & CEO of The Urban Labs welcomes OB/GBH Physician Dr. Lucy Lomas, The Theater Offensive's Giselle Byrd and MassNOW's Sasha Goodfriend to discuss how, despite representing half the population, progress for women requires constant struggle. From bearing societal burdens to facing stereotypes, women are often targets. What actions can we take? How can women in Boston protect their health and peace?

Next, M'Shairi McKenzi, an astrologer, poet and the co-host of Show and Tell Boston, examines how her childhood trauma affects her relationships, informs her parenting style and her view of motherhood. She'll lead a conversation with Neighborhood Birth Center's Nashira Baril and DeeDee's Cry founder Toy Burton to explore the 'mother wound,' preserving self worth, and why sometimes breaking up with your parent is the right choice.
