We discuss the concept of deliberative representative democracy by ordinary citizens, which means representing and being represented in turn.

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

We discuss how our everyday choices to resist, organize, and act collectively can stop authoritarian takeovers. Feeling powerless does not mean that we’re actually powerless!
