Join the conversation by letting us know what you think about the episode!We read and discussed Stacey Abrams' Our Time Is Now before the results of the 2024 election were announced. We were excited and hopeful and wanted to share Stacey's message, information and talented wordsmithing with everyone. We're in a very different emotional space right now, but we still want everyone to read Our Time Is Now. We stand by our view that Stacey Abrams' book is vital and important. And necessary. The truth remains that we aren't taught everything about our system of government and elections, how they came to be, how they are manipulated, and how they can be fixed. Stacey Abrams' Our Time Is Now pulls back the curtain so we can see what we're dealing with while also providing solutions to make it all work for the greater good.
