David Pepper on How Each of Us Can Save Democracy
In this week’s special episode, co-host and NewDEAL CEO Debbie Cox Bultan engages in an urgent discussion about threats to our democracy with David Pepper, a former city and county official, former chair of the Ohio Democratic Party, and author of the new book, “Saving Democracy: A User’s Manual for Every American.” Following his previous best-selling book that sounded the alarm about challenges facing our system, Pepper aims to offer an empowering guide with actionable steps that anyone, regardless of their background or location, can take to help protect our democratic process. Together, he and Debbie delve into the pressing need to understand the ongoing assault on democracy and explain the crucial role pro-democracy Americans play in defending it. They highlight the importance of actively participating in every election, holding extremists accountable, recognizing the importance of state legislatures, and harnessing the influence of city and county officials.
