If you have a young person in your life, take them to vote, and if they're voting for the first time do something special to mark the big occasion. That's the advice of this week's special guest. Here is an excerpt of our interview with Dakota Hall, the executive director of the Alliance for Youth Action—the first Black and Indigenous leader of the organization—and former executive director of the Alliance’s Wisconsin-based affiliate Leaders Igniting Transformation. The Alliance for Youth Action grows progressive people power across America by empowering local young people’s organizations to strengthen our democracy, fix our economy, and correct injustices through on-the-ground organizing.
If you're receiving this message before 4pm EST on November 7th, election eve, there's still time to join our phone bank with Indivisible for Mandela Barnes for U.S. Senate and Lauren Underwood for the U.S. House in Illinois. We're selecting one person at the phone bank to receive a signed copy of Sarah's new book They Knew and a Mr. Jones poster. Mandela Barnes himself will join the phone bank so don't miss it!
