”Empower everybody in our society to live freely.”

We discuss the promise of radical liberalism to deliver equal freedom for all.

Alex Zakaras is professor of political science at the University of Vermont and the author of Freedom for All: What a Liberal Society Could Be.

Your civic action toolkit recommendations from Alex are:
