Everyday Activists

Angad Singh has been in Seattle nine years. He's a family physician. He sees patients in urgent care and works at the University of Washington. Manpreet Kaur Kalra has always loved writing and storytelling. She works in social impact and equity, and hosts Art of Citizenry.

Activism, to her, means centering the voices of those most impacted by harm. During COVID, Angad helped free clinics across Washington set up telemedicine. He and colleagues ran a video-visit clinic, then held vaccine events at the gurdwara. About 400 people got vaccinated over two events.

They still look like a normal couple in the regular hours. Changing the world is a choice for everyone.
