Build the Change is a show about the people at the center of progress hosted by internationally renowned gender non-conforming writer and performance artist Alok Vaid-Menon. We're on a journey across the country, searching for stories about everyday people working together to build something bigger than themselves: Real change. From kelp farmers in Alaska, to LGBTQ students in Appalachia, to candidates in states with razor thin party margins, you'll see what it takes to build a grassroots movement for progressive change—and maybe get inspired to make some change of your own.

Living in a Blue state that isn't considered "up for grabs" in a presidential election can lead to feelings of powerlessness. Tom Hallock and a handful of his friends felt that way in 2016 — so they packed up and traveled out of state to get out the vote. Though that election didn't pan out the way Tom hoped, he realized he and his friends could bring the resources and enthusiasm of progressive areas to the people who really need them... at scale. That's how Force Multiplier was born. In the critical weeks before this historic election, Force Multiplier is mobilizing support for the candidates who need help the most.
