The People’s Inauguration Kickoff

Upgrade to watch now

with Baratunde Thurston, Ari Afsar, and special guests
To kick off our journey into revolutionary love, join Valarie, Baratunde Thurston, Ari Afsar, and special guests for a nationwide celebration of healing, inspiration, art, and music as we reaffirm our commitment to a nation with liberty and justice for all.

Baratunde Thurston

Baratunde Thurston

Baratunde Thurston is an Emmy-nominated host who has worked for The Onion, produced for The Daily Show, advised the Obama White House, and wrote the New York Times bestseller How to Be Black. He’s the executive producer and host of two podcasts, How to Citizen with Baratunde and We’re Having a Moment, which CNET called “the most important podcast of 2020.” He’s also the creator/host of Live on Lockdown. In 2019 he delivered what MSNBC’s Brian Williams called “one of the greatest TED Talks of all time.” A rare leader at the intersection of race, technology, and democracy, Baratunde is using his unique blend of insight, humor, and empathy to help us understand this revolutionary moment.
