    Amanda Litman

    This week on It’s Open, meet Amanda Litman, the co-founder and president of RUN FOR SOMETHING, a progressive political organization serving as the largest public office candidate training pipeline in U.S. politics. Since 2016, Amanda’s organization has helped to elect over 1,650 Millennials and Gen Z to state and local office across 49 states and have signed up LITERALLY 250,000 PEOPLE to run for office! Amanda is also the author of When We’re in Charge, an award-winning leadership guide for Millennials and Gen Z. Join Ilana and Amanda as they discuss the fact that *the resistance is real*, how the culture and FACE of the Democratic party is about to change dramatically, and how the most appropriate symbol of Judaism is actually the question mark. Plus, how all good romance novels begin with a steamy one-night stand 😳 Enjoying It’s Open with Ilana Glazer? The best way to support the pod is also the easiest: Subscribe!
