Hopping Mad With Will Mcleod & Arliss Bunny

16 January 2017 - The genius of flippable.org is that it engages us with "small bite" activism. On a weekly basis Flippable suggests little bits we can each actually do to help Democrats take back state legislatures and governor's mansions around the nation. Catherine Vaughan and Chris Walsh, two of the three Flippable founders, join us to talk about the genesis of the project and the leadership they and their team are collectively providing to flip targeted state legislatures from red to blue. I know that 2018 and 2020 seem like a long way away but in political terms they are, basically, tomorrow. Time is short and, as Catherine says, we can sleep after the 2020 election. Between now and then, we work. What I love about Flippable is that I can do the things they suggest in a reasonable amount of time and still know that I am making a difference. This is the drip, drip, drip, drip constant activism, constant pressure that matters. Will and I started the show talking about specific journalists.
