E12: A Candid Conversation on Civics and Political Life with Christopher Arlen

In this episode, Miriam and Adam speak with Christopher Arlen, who offers an unguarded expository review on his unique life experience, his burning passion for civics, and on being a good neighbor.  Christopher shares stories from his early experiences working to educate and support communities during the AIDS epidemic, how he learned that "invited authority" worked significantly better than "imposed authority”, and why he is changing the way politics are done within his local community.
