From Frustrated to Fired up
Every month, we’ll have honest, direct conversations about how the U.S. political system really works, with a straightforward focus on the parts most people don’t talk about. Host Mindy Romero, Director of the Center for Inclusive Democracy, brings in guests who are challenging co-opted and broken systems, helping listeners get informed and connect with efforts creating meaningful change. This show is for people who are frustrated or angry with politics and ready to do something about it.
If you've ever felt like your vote doesn’t translate into meaningful representation for you or your community, you’re not alone. Democracy Reimagined examines what’s actually happening within American democracy. We explore reform proposals, the people advancing them, and the institutional barriers standing in their way. Through stories, analysis, and candid conversations, we reveal how power really operates and why so many Americans feel disconnected from the systems and democratic institutions meant to serve them. Together, we explore pathways toward a more representative democracy that delivers equitable outcomes and puts communities first. Join us if you're ready to move beyond frustration and into action alongside people who are speaking truth to power and working to build a democracy that truly represents the people.
