27. How to Save Our Democracy with Amanda Litman

Does our vote really matter? How do we make our politicians listen to us instead of bending to lobbyists and corporations? Is there hope for our democracy? Today’s guest, Amanda Litman (Run for Something), is here to show us the path to getting more progressive candidates in office who can begin to affect change locally and, eventually, nationally. A path that starts right outside your front door in the community you love. The hope, as it turns out, is all of us. This is one of the most important episodes we’ve ever recorded, and it’s crucial listening –– now more than ever before.
