Episode 7: Morgan Harper & Jordan Hawkins

As we often say on the show, we believe democracy happens between elections. With Election Day looming we wanted to turn our attention to What's Next. We have two special guests this week who are always thinking about the long game. Jordan Hawkins, Deputy Engagement Director at Ohio Democratic Party, is on the podcast for the first time while Morgan Harper, the former grassroots candidate for Ohio's third congressional district, joins us for the second time, as our first reoccurring guest. We discuss the importance of continued civic engagement to ensure transparent and effective representation and how we can engage beyond electoral politics. Follow Morgan @mh4oh and Jordan @J_Hawk_TheDon.  

Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 3. The polls will be open from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. For all things voting in Ohio go to makeitcountohio.com. If you need a FREE ride to the polls call or text Columbus Stand Up at 614-259-7391. 

Our end clip this week is Sean Penn appearing in the 1993 documentary, The Last Party. Hosted by Robert Downey Jr., the film satirically covers the 1992 election including both the Republican and Democratic conventions with equal criticism. 

Hosted by EhKees & Tareya. Recorded & Edited by The Dreamcatchers Recording Studios; Executive Produced by Jenn Nielsen; our Post Production Assistant is Callan Reese.
