Last week I had the pleasure of joining local grassroots organizers on a radio show run by the League of Women Voters Maine.
I left the conversation inspired and hopeful about the grassroots energy to protect democracy in America. If you could use some inspiration, I highly recommend you listen.

Not sure that pollsters poring over incomplete data, reacting to how people maybe feel based on answers to limited sets of questions, is the dynamic future for Dems. Like: what if instead instead they fought hard for moral policies & ideas that make people's lives better & organized around that?
