Episode 44: Creating Hope and Action to Protect American Democracy

In this episode, I spoke with Mr. Rob Shriver, the former leader of the Office of Personnel Management in the Obama and Biden administrations, and a current leader in the organization, Democracy Forward, a national legal non-profit that advances democracy and social progress through litigation, public education, and regulatory engagement. We discussed the current state of America, from how the Trump administration has terrorized the bureaucracy, to the impacts of the Big Beautiful Bill, and our crumbling democracy. But, in the midst of all of these alarming circumstances, we discussed the power of hope and channeling it through action, education, policy, and campaigning. Mr. Shriver and his work at Democracy Forward are proof that it is possible to fight back against oppression if you're only willing to take action. Tune in now to learn more!
