Reviews
- Filling the gap
There are tons of political podcasts, but what I love about this one is how beautifully it centers the people. The folks who are transforming their communities one ballot measure at a time. It’s helped me feel less alone in this chaotic world. S/O to BISC and their BISCuits for creating the content we need to build power. #TheWorldWeDeserve
