In this inspiring episode of American Potential, host Jeff Crank talks with Sarah Norberg, a determined citizen from Folsom, California, who joined forces with a small group of like-minded individuals to defeat a proposed permanent sales tax increase in their city.

Sarah shares how they used creativity, grassroots tactics, and sheer determination to rally the community against the odds. From delivering yard signs to crafting compelling arguments for the voter guide, the group’s efforts led to a decisive victory, with voters rejecting the tax increase despite being outspent nearly 20-to-1. This David vs. Goliath story highlights the power of grassroots activism and serves as a blueprint for ordinary citizens to make an extraordinary impact in their communities.
