We keep saying we need more people to engage in politics, and specifically in Massachusetts state politics.  But we also said we think lobbying is not that effective.  How are we supposed to engage with our state reps if it’s not lobbying?

We have a special guest, Medford City Councillor Nicole Morell, here to talk about how she and other elected officials work directly with the coalition that got them elected to strategize how to pass their policy platform and implement actions together.

Jordan Berg Powers, Jonathan Cohn, and Anna Callahan chat about Massachusetts politics. You can also watch this episode on video.

You’re listening to Incorruptible Massachusetts. Our goal is to help people understand state politics: investigate why it’s so broken, imagine what we could have here in MA if we fixed it, and report on how you can get involved.
