005 David Comfort: Democracy is something you do


Listen Later

Monday, March 17, 2025 Release

David Comfort sits down with Caroline Stack to discuss the group he started after the November election – Democracy Action Network (DAN). David discusses how his upbringing and previous work to overturn Prop 8 informs his worldview, how the only way to get rid of Trump is through grassroots action, and how DAN is organized to be a small democracy where each member steps up to lead in turn.
