GOOD TROUBLE PODCAST
GET INTO SOME GOOD TROUBLE!
INFORMATION IS POWER
With Embrace Boston & the Massachusetts Budget & Policy Center’s Good Trouble Podcast, our goal is to inform and inspire using the stories of the people fighting the good fight today.
Inspired by civil rights leader John Lewis’ words of encouragement, the show will connect with our region’s noisemakers and key stakeholders to learn about their paths to becoming “good troublemakers” and what we can all do to join them.
