You’re going to get an earful from Jon Tester this episode—literally. His ear is in the shot for most of the episode, which must mean tractor time with Tester on another episode of Grounded.
Skye Perryman, president and CEO of Democracy Forward, joins us to discuss her new book, Ordinary People, Extraordinary Times (out August 25th), which argues that defending democracy isn't just a job for lawyers and politicians, but a role for all of us. We discuss the practical “to do lists” and “tip sheets” from the book, including things you can do in a day, a weekend, or a week, plus a section on staying joyful along the way. We also dig into her organization’s ongoing legal fights and Democracy Forward’s partnership with the Human Rights Campaign to counter Turning Point USA on college campuses.
Don’t miss the lesson on harvesting wheat and the wild rumors swirling around the U.S. Senate race in Montana.
Thank you Wendy E, Grace Doggart, Martha Morningsong, BLONDE LEGALLY 🙋🏼♀️🧩🔍⚖️✨🦋, Shirley Figueroa, and many others for tuning into our live video with Democracy Forward!
