What is democracy, and do we have it in the United States?
On this edition, we will hear directly from people who say there’s no true democracy in the U.S., but that we can build one. Grassroots leaders from emerging democracy movements speak out about how to create democracy in the U.S. It all starts, they say, within their own communities.
