What Can I Do

diverse stick figures looking at Capitol Hill asking the question, "What can I do?"

What Can I Do

You voted (again), you protested (again), you posted on social media (again), yet you’re still reeling from all the terrible news.

But…what else can you do? We’ll help you figure that out! Each week hosts Kelly Therese Pollock and Lila Nordstrom interview activists working on a range of issues, from national policy to local concerns, not about why but about how they took action: What got them started, who helped them along the way, and what they’d do differently if they had to do it all again. In the process, we’ll offer concrete advice on how to take the leap from freaking out on Twitter to making a difference, building community, and finding joy in getting involved.

Find out the answer to the question, “What can I do?”.
