Introducing Digital Democracy with Travis Misurell of FiNC, Future is Now Coalition

Hello Villagers! This episode features Travis Misurell, founder of the Future is Now Coalition (FiNC). Travis has been concerned about issues many Americans are also concerned about and he identifies it thusly: "right now, big money and party gatekeepers control who you are even allowed to vote for. You're stuck choosing between two pre-approved options and hoping one is slightly less bad." FiNC is building a new civic infrastructure, owned by citizens, where every candidate gets a fair shot. The goal is that citizens can find leaders they feel truly represent them. Listen to the many facets of this digital democracy: politician report cards, candidate matchmaker, changing the lens from "Left vs Right" to Up or Down, and the role of media.Links:www.futureis.orghub.futureis.orghttps://discord.com/invite/yFNB2XqWtAhttps://www.youtube.com/@FutureIsOrghttps://www.facebook.com/FutureIsOrghttps://www.instagram.com/FutureIsOrghttps://www.tiktok.com/@FutureIsOrgThanks to the media lab at the Downers Grove Public Library.Our logo was designed by Qwurk Communications.Spilling the Village Tea is hosted and created by RobinRutkowski and edited by Jay Wadhwa.You can email us at [email protected] us on Facebook at Spilling the Village Tea and Instagram at SpillingTheVillageTea_podcast.  On whatever platform you listen, please let that platform know you enjoyed our podcast with likes or stars, and follow us officially through that platform!Thank you for listening!
