FOLKS - Democrats Abroad with Julia Bryan

Guest: Julia Bryan, Global Chair for Democrats Abroad

Just because you're an American living outside the country, you can still vote. And you should. Organizations like Democrats Abroad are here to help make it as easy a process as it can be. We also talk about the Electoral College, HR1, the filibuster, her blog and more. Plus handy links for voters abroad from several countries in the episode notes.
