Local podcast The Great Reset to interview Ezra Levin

Press release from The Great Reset:

After six months of releasing 2+ episodes per week and creeping up on nearly 5,000 downloads, The Great Reset landed their most high-profile guest yet, Ezra Levin. He’s the co-founder and co-Executive Director of Indivisible.org and has earned recognitions such as GQ’s 50 Most Powerful People in Trump’s Washington, ranked #2 on the POLITICO 50 list of top thinkers, doers and visionaries transforming American politics and has appeared on MSNBC (with several appearances on The Rachel Maddow Show including his latest appearance recently on September 21) as well as CNN, NPR, Pod Save America, The New York Times, Washington Post, The New Yorker, The Nation Newspaper, Slate.com, and Rolling Stone, among others. He is the co-author of We Are Indivisible: A Blueprint for Democracy After Trump.

Indivisible describes itself as “a grassroots movement of thousands of local Indivisible groups with a mission to elect progressive leaders, rebuild our democracy, and defeat the Trump agenda” and has 100s of local organizations across the country and more than a million members, and Ezra shares in this episode their efforts to block the Senate nomination.

“In this conversation with Ezra, we dig deep on the SCOTUS nomination after the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg and what we can do to prevent this forced nomination right before an election. We also discuss some of the archaic notions of our democracy and how there needs to be a shift in the concept of the Electoral College, uneven Senate Representation and the possibility of term limits for Congress and the Supreme Court,” co-host Tommy Calloway shares.

“I loved that Ezra reminds all of us that simply winning an election is not the end of the work we all must do. January 22nd we all have to be active to hold our leaders accountable and move them toward policies that affect real change,” co-host Shawndra Russell adds.
