How do we get more passionate activists into political power? In this episode, we talk to movement builders Colombe Cahen-Salvador and Andrea Venzon about barriers to political office, what they look for in a future politician and what will happen if activists on the street continue to feel unrepresented in the halls of power. Colombe and Andrea are co-founders of pan-European political party Volt Europa and, more recently, global movement and party in the making Atlas. This episode was produced at the 2022 Athens Democracy Forum in partnership with the Democracy and Culture Foundation.
