Part One: Jay Riestenberg of Common Cause joins us to talk about their recent report, “Democracy on the Ballot.” There are dozens of ballot initiatives and state constitutional amendments aimed at strengthening (and in some cases to undermine) democracy. There are 26 reform ballot initiatives in 17 states.

Jay Riestenberg is the deputy communications director at Common Cause. He co-authored this report with Elena Nunez.

Part Two: Bill Curry joins us to discuss anti-semitism, white nationalism, fascism, the midterms, the future of America – and more.

Bill Curry was a White House advisor to Bill Clinton and a past Connecticut gubernatorial candidate.
