    Episode 12: Vote for Alice Merkl!

    Alice Merkl is a longtime member of the HausWitch Community, as well as an absolute blessing to Salem, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and frankly the whole dang world. And she's running for Salem City Council! We could go on for hours about everything we love about Alice and why she's the only person qualified to lead, but we figured we'd let the High Priestess of Civic Engagement speak for herself. Check out our interview with Alice here AND on the HausWitch Community Page. Wanna meet Alice in person? She'll be popping up at the HausWitch store on Saturday 9/11 from 1-3pm. Go Alice go!! ---LINKS--- Written interview with Alice on the HausWitch Community Page (with links to the volunteer orgs she mentions in this episode): https://hauswitchstore.com/blogs/community/meet-the-candidate-alice-angel-merkl Alice's Campaign Page: https://www.electalicemerkl.com/ Follow us online at www.witchthevote.org, on Facebook at www.facebook.com/witchthevote, and on Instagram at @witchthevote.
