Friends,
Our schedule is coming together for the next few weeks. Hope to be adding a few more events with outside guests in the coming days. For our paid subscribers feel free to make a suggestion in the comments area below on someone you would like to hear from in the coming months. Interested to hear from you about this.
Tomorrow, I will have a lot to say about the President’s successful Asia trip and the dangerous game the Republicans are playing with our economy and our democracy itself. The MAGA wrecking ball is out in full force now.
Keep working hard all, and thanks again to everyone who helped Donna Deegan get it done this week in Jacksonville! - Simon

I totally support your recommendation that we need to get young people registered to vote, so how about a program on that issue? There are several organizations around the country already working on this issue. Perhaps you feature speakers from one or more of them to tell us about the process, how to help, where they are having problems, etc. A quick google search on groups registering young people brought up new-voters.org, RocktheVote.org, campusvoteproject.org, studentvote.org, and thecivicscenter.org. There was also an article from Mashable on organizations getting out the vote. mashable.com/article/organizations-get-out-the-vote-donate that listed several other organizations focusing on registering young people as well as groups like League of Women Voters. And I have seen other groups doing this same work. We don’t need, or have time, to reinvent the wheel, so why not find out how we can help these groups increase their reach to more young people.
I agree with Cathleen D's comment How about interviewing the new CEO, Mary-Pat Hector, of RISE, the most effective young voter turnout organization in the country? Also, you should invite the new Chair of the NC Democratic party on for an interview. Don't know if you have met her, but I saw her interviewed by Ali Velshi, substituting for Lawrence O'Donnell, on Friday night and she was terrific. Much better than I was at age 25. She encompasses a whole bunch of our issues as well, having moved up to State Chair from having been Chair of a rural NC County (person?), gearing up for the abortion fight in NC in 2024, and of course leading that state's effort to carry it for Biden.
