Listen "18: January 6: One Year Later. What’s the state of our democracy?"
Episode Synopsis
Last week in the United States, we acknowledged the one-year anniversary of the events that took place last January 6th, which we all see as a very dark day in our history. Horrific actions taken on this date have created even more division in our country, and today on the podcast we want to explore where we are right now and what it means moving forward, as we redefine what democracy really means to each and every one of us. As you’ll hear, we both think that ultimately being decent human beings and having a foundational understanding of what differentiates a lie from the truth is a great starting point that we can all begin at, because when done right, democracy is a beautiful thing that we should all be a part of. As always, we love to hear your feedback.
