    Creating a Culture of Voting with Kimara Snipes

    One of the reasons I created this show is to amplify the voices of people working to improve the lives of people within their community, often unsung. In today’s episode, I will be talking to Kimara Snipes with the Nebraska Civic Engagement Table. She is an organizer, community advocate, and champion of civic engagement. We’re gonna talk with her about her journey to community organizing as well as the work that she and her team are leading at the Nebraska Civic Engagement Table.
