Get Real About Elections: Anjali Enjeti

January 29th, 2026

”We don't have to wait for Congress to do something.”

We discuss grassroots organizing, voting rights for U.S. territories and First Nations, and the state of elections in Georgia.

Anjali Enjeti is a poll worker, electoral organizer, activist, and novelist whose latest book is Ballot, a timely narrative about the fragile state of our most fundamental right.

Your civic action toolkit recommendations from Anjali are:

1. Organize at the local level

2. Pick up your neighbor on your way to vote
