Jim Lardner, journalist, activist, and host of the podcast "Good Trouble," joins Deepak Puri, CEO of The Democracy Labs, to discuss the "We Are Your Neighbor" Project, which aims to collect and promote personal stories of people impacted by the Trump administration's policies. The goal is to promote these types of stories in a non-ideological way to reach out to Trump supporters and others who may be reconsidering their political support.
Deepak and Jim talk about:
- The power of storytelling to connect voters across the political spectrum
- Growing number of people who are willing to share their stories publicly
- Encouraging more nuanced and empathetic discussions about local and national issues
- Serving as a resource for journalists and activists looking to better understand the real-world impacts of policy changes
