MoxieTalk with Kirt Jacobs Episode #125: Chris Hartman

The mantra "You are pure potential," from his improv mentor, Dr. Martin de Maat, motivates Chris Hartman in his work against discrimination. Hartman's work as an activist in the LGBT community has helped stop anti-fairness legislation, and change the conversation. Hartman served as the Philadelphia director of the Democratic National Committee's open-air grassroots fundraising effort for the 2004 Presidential Election. In 2008, he served as campaign press secretary to Congressman John Yarmuth. Hartman also served as an AmeriCorps VISTA member. Hartman is the first director of Louisville's 20-year-old Fairness Campaign and a steering committee member of the Kentucky statewide Fairness Coalition. He also founded and produced Project Improv, improvisational theatre troupes located in both St. Louis and Louisville.
