Somebody Should Do Something
Somebody Should Do Something tells stories of those individuals daring to change and shape America. On a narrative journey, you'll meet people who encounter an injustice, issue, or cause they care passionately about and decide they are that “somebody” who cannot walk away. Some help people on a national, state, or local level – on issues ranging from medical care to poverty, job training to mental health. Others work to protect animals. Still more fight to safeguard our land, air, and water. And many strive to uphold, restore, and strengthen the values of our democracy. You’ll hear the stories and struggles of activist leaders, social visionaries, authors, and legislators. Learn about the issues they care so strongly about and why.
