**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!** more
So great to learn about so many amazing progressive candidates
I became aware of Amanda’s work from some other podcasts I listen too. I just started listening and am so impressed with this organization! Rather than being left with a sense of dread about current events, I feel a sense of hope! I am in my late 50’s and it’s wonderful to hear about many young people stepping up to do the right things!!
I think that Amanda and RFS are doing critical work. I understand the partisan critique from other reviewers but frankly appreciate the degree to which these Democratic representatives (especially in Republican majority situations) can effectively work on compromise and bridge-building policy initiatives. We've all got agendas. The trick is in how necessary work can still get done locally and how that eventually unifies us nationally. more
Thanks for doing this. Really enjoying the show and the book. It feels really lonely doing this kind of work in a rural area. Your show has become a comforting oasis I start trying to do the good work of uplifting my community.
