Over the years, the New Activist podcast has amplified brave voices of many who are tackling the world’s biggest humanitarian issues from the frontlines of the war against injustice. While these episodes will live on, today we are announcing the end of the New Activist podcast.
We’re incredibly grateful for everyone who have lent us your ears and time over the years. We wouldn’t be here without you. And to all the guests who have generously shared their work and how to engage in the fight for justice, thank you.

“Activists are dreamers who do.” @ntoyamaszeto @NewActivistIs
In light of the horrific events in Georgia last week, we have decided to postpone the episode that was planned for today. There will be a new episode hosted by friends in the Asian American community released soon.
Thank you,
