In the newest episode of the Pothole Problem Podcast, Jack talks with Wendy Willis, founding director of Oregon’s Kitchen Table, a statewide engagement program working to give every Oregonian an opportunity to participate in the political decisions that affect their lives and communities. They discuss a wide range of topics, from Wendy's early experiences with community, how going to law school impacted her life and her thinking, and the challenges of promoting civic engagement and participation in the public forum in a post-pandemic world where people are increasingly isolated from each other and from the communities that nourish them.Links:Oregon's Kitchen Table: https://www.oregonskitchentable.org/Kitchen Table Democracy: https://www.kitchentable.org/National Policy Consensus Center: https://www.pdx.edu/policy-consensus-center/"Perhaps the World Ends Here" by Joy Harjo: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/49622/perhaps-the-world-ends-here
