Indivisible Nevada County 'Slice-'n'-Dice' Friday Podcast

This week, we sat down with a very special guest (in an interview recorded Wednesday - yes, Earth day!) - Dr. Aaron Zettler-Mann, Executive Director of the South Yuba River Citizens League - or SYRCL as most of us know it. We got a 25th anniversary update on the South Yuba's Wild and Scenic designation, thoughts on the Trump administration's threats to public lands, a vision for expanding access to rivers and lakes, and more - plus we learned about "wet feet advocacy". We also got updates on the April 27 "Candidate Forum", May 1 "May Day" event, and more.

Join us for an enlightening and encouraging chat with Congressman Ami Bera, MD, candidate for CA-3 as he shares plans for how best to win the US House of Representatives in November - and immediately take steps to reverse our descent into autocracy and oligarchy. Join hosts Bill, Kathy, and Alyssa as they discuss the June 2 governor's race and review upcoming events - the April 22 "Postcard Party", April 27 "Candidate Forum", May 1 "May Day" and more - that are as fun as they are essential to preserving democracy.

It's been a rough week, but there's also progress and reasons to be optimistic.

Join hosts Bill, Alyssa, and Kathy as we talk with Bob Gould about his group, its goals, and which messages inspire the most "honks" and "flip offs". We'll also get updates on the April 22 Civic Action, April 27 Candidates' Forum, and the nationwide "May Day Strong" event May 1.
