Host May Boeve sits down with organizer and strategist, Sudha Nandagopal.
May Boeve talks with Sudha Nandagopal, founder of Bend the Horizon, a strategy advising and consulting firm that works at the intersection of climate, narrative, philanthropy, and governance.
Sudha traces her path from immigrant rights organizing with Pramila Jayapal and OneAmerica to transforming Seattle’s approach to environmental justice by asking a deeper question: who decides what problems are worth solving?
The conversation lands on a powerful lesson for this moment: durable wins come from building with people from the start, practicing democracy locally, and creating the politics of possibility even in hard times.
