  • 🌱 We Are the Message
    Jan 6 2025

    Hey y’all! Welcome back and welcome to season 3 of the roots of change podcast!


    In our 2025 kickoff, host Sam Chavez (she/they/he) shares a quick update about our visions for 2025 and reflect on Modern Hollywood’s impact on society with a voiceover of our December newsletter series. As a film school geek, I had a lot of fun playing with sounds to deepen the story I tell. I hope you enjoy!


    If you aren’t familiar with this podcast, I am a queer, Latine, and white activist who founded the roots of change agency in 2020 to support heart-first activists and social change communicators to avoid burnout and cultivate connections that empower social change. I am, as my partner calls me, a New Texican living on Raymaytush Ohlone Land in the Bay Area of California.


    Join our membership in January for 25% to set yourself up for an uncertain year of activism and social change ahead.

  • Reflecting on Elections & the Future of Organizing
    Nov 12 2024

    It’s been one week since the 2024 U.S. election and many are still processing, while others are acting and building (I’m moving through both). I want to speak to you no matter where you find yourself. I had planned a different podcast about celebrating volunteers. Not many listeners are in a celebratory mood, so I want to talk about organizing and moving forward in this moment. In my first solo pod, I reflect on:

    • Some of my experiences in the Southwest that signaled the results
    • How grassroots organizing worked when superficial branding didn’t
    • How the roots of change agency is moving forward in this moment
    • Finally, I share interviews with volunteers in Reno, NV & Modesto, CA


    Organizing on both the macro and most personal levels of our lives is more important than ever. I hope you’ll join me in continuing to learn, grow, and organize for true liberatory & sustainable change.


    Upgrade to Support My Work

    As we move into this new period of movement work, I plan to be a key resource for anyone who is working to shift our world towards a more compassionate and sustainable society. But I can only do that if I am sustainable and able to also support myself. If you’ve considered upgrading in the past, I’m asking you to please upgrade today. Your contribution will go directly back into the community in terms of resources.
