In the run-up to the November election, we\u2019re doing a number of episodes that may help you track and process the current news. This week, it\u2019s Referendum Week, looking at the world of referendums, ballot initiatives, and more.

\n\n

In 2018, a group of women who came to be known as the \u201cBadass Grandmas\u201d got together to pass anti-corruption legislation in North Dakota. It showed the power of referendums at the state level to help fix our democracy.

\n\n

Our guest is Joshua Graham Lynn, CEO of the grassroots anti-corruption group RepresentUS. They are our partners o the Pro-Democracy Podcast Coalition.
