Special Live Q&A with Hans Zeiger — State & Local Power in Action
How communities can respond to breaking political shifts
For next week’s live conversation, I’m opening the doors to all subscribers — because this topic couldn’t be more important right now.
We’ll be joined by Hans Zeiger, a respected civic leader who speaks powerfully about what states and local governments can do to protect democracy and create real change.
Next Wednesday, August 20th at 4 PM PT, Hans will help us understand the importance of state and local power — and how we can lean on them to respond to today’s challenges:
Just this week, California Governor Gavin Newsom announced a special election for redistricting.
Washington D.C. filed a lawsuit challenging the Trump Administration’s police takeover.
These events highlight the kinds of issues Hans will speak to — how power is exercised at the state and local level, and ways we might respond effectively when it matters most.
Why This Matters:
So much of our attention goes to national politics, but state and local actions can shape our daily lives more than any federal decision. I hope Hans will help us connect the dots between these headlines and the tools available in our own communities.
