Finding Hope in Local Democracy

Local Democracy is where civil rights, your rights, either get defended... or they get destroyed. But turnout for local elections is terrible! Most people have no idea what a city council member, or a county supervisor, or a state senator even does - let alone the name of the person who represents them. But these small offices have huge power! Right now there is a concerted effort to take over these offices before people start paying attention and use them to destroy American democracy where it lives - at the local level. But also right now there are historic numbers of incredible, big-hearted and community-minded people running for all kinds of offices in every state in this union. Either way, whoever occupies these offices in the coming years are going to be in a position to make some major changes. What kind of changes those are is up to us... if we get involved. If we decide to care. This is a podcast on a quest. A quest to introduce you to some of the fantastic people running for and serving in offices all over the country. A quest to open your minds to the possibilities of a government that looks more like you, listens to you, and works to make things better for you for a change. This is a podcast on a quest to make local representation sexy.

Fell in love with this movement when it was #HoldTheFloor via Instagram Live and I love to see that it has morphed into a weekly podcast. We need to shine a light on the work that can be done in between those “big” elections every 4years! LocalSelection is a great reminder that our local representatives, our neighbors and we ourselves are where the actual change starts. So much has risen from the ashes of 2020, including this podcast and I’m grateful for it! Can’t wait for my own neighborhood to be covered one day, we’re definitely doing the work!
