Why do the numbers matter and how does power shift when leadership actually reflects the population? We want to better understand the nuances of power and who holds it!
Representation is more than a talking point. It is a measure of whether a democracy is functioning. Steve Phillips breaks down why leadership still does not reflect the country’s diversity and what that gap means for policy, opportunity, and power.
Democracy thrives on participation. When more voices enter the process, the entire direction of the country shifts. @StevePtweets joins us TOMORROW to talk about what real participation looks like and why it matters more than ever. Tune in wherever you get your podcasts 🎙️

"Throwing your plastic bottles in the recycling bin may make you feel good about yourself, or ease your guilt about your climate impact. But recycling plastic will not address the plastic pollution crisis—and it is time we stop pretending as such," writes @enckj https://t.co/FGP9fEOa9x
We were excited to share our NEW BOOK, “The Problem with Plastic: How We Can Save Ourselves and Our Planet Before It's Too Late” with Liz Kruger, NY State Senator.
