“**Update(8/31/21): I came to leave a glowing review, forgetting that I had already done so in February! In the six months since I left my first review, I’ve joined the campaign teams of two RFS endorsed City Council candidates in my area. I credit RFS entirely for sparking my interest in local down ballot races. I am LOVING the work, and I could not be more grateful to Amanda & her team for getting me involved!**
Original review: I’m an avid listener of political podcasts, but this is the first time I’ve had to repeatedly pause a show to take written notes! I’ve been working on transitioning into the world of professional politics, hoping to use my skills to support progressive candidates & leaders. For this mission, I can’t imagine a more valuable source of knowledge than this podcast that features interviews with young, compassionate, and innovative elected (or soon to be elected!) officials. Amanda Litman demystifies the political process in a way that makes running for office (or supporting the smart, ethical people doing so) feel not only possible, but almost compulsory. Amanda’s wisdom is complimented by her fantastic guests, whose diverse identities, fascinating backstories, and bold plans informed by their own personal struggles prove Amanda’s theory: that tangible progress (both for the Democratic Party and our nation as a whole) cannot be achieved without uplifting and empowering new progressive leaders in every single election. I’m truly grateful to the Run For Something team for keeping me informed and inspired with every new episode.”
