The Ghosts of Grassroots Past, Present and Future: A Friday Power Lunch Holiday Carol

Join us on the Friday Power Lunch this week for The Ghosts of Grassroots Past, Present and Future: A Friday Power Lunch Holiday Carol.

To be the force for change, to meet this moment that calls for recalibration, resolve, and yes, rebellion, we must be the leaders that will speak up, show up and act up. Join hosts Finale Norton, Katherine White and National co-host, Susan Wagner (Markers for Democracy) to discuss how the lessons from the past, present and the future can help us learn from it so transformation can take place.

We will also welcome:

Antonia Scatton, messaging expert and author of Reframing America on Substack will share her perspective on the Democratic party’s past, present, and potential future, emphasizing the need for change and the role of grassroots movements in shaping it. Antonia will challenge us to be a part of the upcoming Democratic party leadership process.

Nick Knudsen, Founder, Executive Director of DemCast, will explain how DemCast has had to rethink and retool to fight the digital information war by growing stronger and louder democracy voices. Nick will provide a look at the future yet to come.

Lynlee Thorne, Political Director, Rural GroundGame, will deliver a hearty “Bah Humbug” to anyone who doesn’t want to hear the truth: the Democratic party needs a culture shift now. Lynlee believes it starts by asking Why are you doing this work?

This is our last show in December. We return on January 3, 2025 with guest Jess Piper to kick off the New Year.
