Summary

Oh, say, can you seeeeee that a lot of shit has been going down in the last few years (and days) here in the US of A that hasn’t made us feel too patriotic. Between systemic racism, gun violence, slashed access to reproductive healthcare, and more, we’ve found ourselves asking the question, “How do we engage with a system that feels like it’s failing us?” We brought back one of our favorite guests, Emily Tisch Sussman, former political consultant, to share all of the ways we can get more involved in creating a government that truly works for us –– from non-partisan volunteering to making it easier for everyone to vote, to effectively wielding the power we have as citizens to get our representatives to listen to us on the issues we care about. Because, truly, our bodies are on the ballot.
