  • This podcast is pure gold!

    **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

  • Important work!

    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!!

  • Important and Under-Covered

    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

  • Great stuff

    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.
