Jill Wine-Banks and Victor Shi are joined by Audra Wilson, who is currently the President and CEO of the Shriver Center on Poverty Law, an organization that focuses on achieving economic and racial justice. In this episode, we talk about the work of the Shriver Center -- from its early role in the war against poverty to its current work on reducing the inequities and inequalities facing our country -- as well as advice for Victor's generation as they fight for equality and justice.

Before becoming President and CEO of Shriver Center, Audra Wilson served as Deputy Press Secretary to then-state-Senator Barack Obama’s campaign, was an adjunct professor at Northwestern Law, and served as Executive Director of the Illinois League of Women Voters.
