The Tale of a Town Meeting

We hear from citizen activist, Diana Kastenbaum, who organized a town meeting in her congressional district in Western New York State filled with both Democrats and Republicans airing their concerns.

Norman talked about the petition his group and Progressive Democrats of America sent to the DNC for an emergency meeting challenging how the party elites are responding to the authoritarian creep of the Trump Administration. 

Listen to this clip from the interview with Ralph where Norman talks about how change will happen. "And that's where I think the only change is going to come from the bottom up. It's come from us folks at the grassroots. We are organizers, civic organizations, public interest groups. Those who, ss activists, as organizers, know that the only way you get progress in this country is is you raise hell. It's never given to you or anybody from the top down".

The only change is going to come from the bottom up
