Making Your Vote Your Daily Vow w/ Amanda Friesen, PhD

Listen Later

We had the pleasure of speaking with professor, political scientist and all around class act, Amanda Friesen. We discuss why voting matters, why it is the bare minimum requirement as a citizen, and how you can engage beyond voting to live your values and your vow as a citizen day in and day out. Make your vote your vow to stay engaged in the process of democracy!

Ways to stay engaged as a citzen:

  • write letters, call and email your representatives
  • follow city council meetings and zoning laws
  • divide and conquer with your friend circle. Focus on the elements of government that you're interested in (environmental policy, racial equality, etc.)
  • Support local news
  • Join local community groups
  • Work with/join/ offer support to groups who are already doing the work you are interested in

    • Some resources to go along with this conversation:
