This is the second episode of By The People, The Bay podcastâs new series highlighting the way democracy shows up in the places around us, and how we can all plug in.
Many activists work their whole lives from outside the systems they want changed. Thatâs what Shakira Simley did, until recently. Simley is now Director of San Franciscoâs Office of Racial Equity and says she brought a lot of the lessons she learned as an activist with her into City Hall. Simley talks with us about why itâs important to see public institutions as ours to behold â and change.
Guest: Shakirah Simley, Director of San Franciscoâs Office of Racial Equity
