Brave New Foundation (disclaimer: my employer)just launched episode 2 of This Brave Nation, a documentary series born out of a collaboration between BNF and The Nation magazine. In this episode, two legendary Californians, Dolores Huerta and Bonnie Raitt, are featured in conversation with one another. (Episode 1 also features two Californians: Van Jones and Carl Pope. Really serves to remind you just how outsized a role our state has played in building the progressive movement in the U.S.)
Here’s the trailer with Bonnie Raitt. You can view the entire 30-minute episode at http://bravenation.com/bonnie_…
Future episodes will include Anthony Romero and Ava Lowery, Majora Carter and Pete Seeger, and Tom Hayden and Naomi Klein. At a moment when progressives are healing the wounds of a divisive presidential primary, this series reminds us of the solidarity of our movement.
