The past year has seen the fault lines of our country exposed and exploited, and we've seen loss to an unmatched degree. Through all the grief and introspection, the divisions of our country have been made crystal-clear. At this critical inflection point, the ACLU has launched "Systemic Equality", a bold platform which reimagines the broken systems that are woven into the fabric of our society. But imagining an anti-racist, healed America means not just bold policies, but bold storytelling.

In this conversation, ACLU Texas Communications Director Darryl Ewing sits down with writers, producers, and showrunners to discuss how to repair inequitable systems and build a future through storytelling, both on and off the screen in TV today.
