Actor and activist Danny Glover has been invested in transformational movements since his college years, where he helped organize a five-month long student strike at San Francisco State University that led to the creation of the first School of Ethnic Studies in the country.

Since then, he’s protested the Vietnam War, fought against colonialism and racism in Africa, and has advocated for more access to education and economic opportunities. He’s served as the Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Development Program and a UNICEF ambassador.
