How To Harness Your Citizen Superpowers
Connie is feeling compelled to get involved in her local community, but she's never even attended a PTA meeting. On this episode of How To!, Courtney Martin enlists Eric Liu of Citizen University to explain how busy parents, introverts, and first-timers like Connie can test the waters of civic engagement in the Trump 2.0 era—without getting sucked under.
Eric is the author of You're More Powerful Than You Think: A Citizen's Guide to Making Change Happen.
