With the DNC convention over, our featured idealist is Adam Kinzinger,   the former Illinois congressman who denounced Trump way back in 2016, and later served on the bipartisan January 6th Committee. Kinzinger isn’t afraid to speak truth to power and was a speaker at the convention, exhorting Republicans to understand that “Democrats also love our country!” The Big Interview is with Nicki Hangsleben, the executive director of Queer Space Collective, which matches LGBTQ+ youth with LGBTQ+ mentors, ala Big Brothers/Sisters. In my C-Block, I talk about some touching audience feedback from a recent workshop that I conducted.
