Mark Ruffalo on the Future of Humanity (Pt. 1) | Soul Boom

Mark Ruffalo (HBO’s 'Task,' Marvel's 'Avengers') explores how America can find compassion in divided times, the dangers of political violence, and why activism must be rooted in empathy. Ruffalo reflects on losing his brother to gun violence, the climate crisis, and his journey with The Solutions Project, which uplifts frontline communities fighting for change. Together, they ask: how do we move beyond fear, rage, and dehumanization into a future of justice, unity, and imagination?
