Block & Build
Block & Build is a newsmagazine podcast from Convergence Magazine that examines the balance of political forces in the US from a movement perspective. Every week, host Cayden Mak explores what’s happening in politics—and what we can do about it.
The show takes Convergence’s Block & Build framework as a jumping-off point for responding to escalating authoritarianism in ways that focus on preventing harm while building the strength, resilience, and strategy for our movements to win in the long-term.
And we’re not just talk. Block & Build is made by and for doers: every week we hear from organizers, strategists, movement journalists, and others who are helping to refine our strategy and develop strategic unity in a time of great peril for people and planet.
But we have no time for doomerism. This show is about how to fight, and while we are clear-eyed about what we’re up against, we’re also determined to win. Join us.
