A Porch Light for Democracy
from #SundayCivics Hosted by June Moses
In this episode our civics teacher and neighborhood political strategist L. Joy debuts a brand-new series: The Porch Light. Drawing inspiration from the simple yet powerful tradition of leaving a light on for loved ones, L. Joy frames democracy itself as a light—something that offers guidance, protection, and hope in uncertain times. This episode lays out the foundation for the Porch Light series, a syllabus that will run through the end of the year. She takes listeners on a journey through history, memory, and symbolism, reminding us how light has always signaled safety and freedom, from lanterns in the windows of the Underground Railroad to the North Star guiding the enslaved toward liberation.
