Run For Something Co-Founder and President Amanda Litman

Show notes

Amanda Litman is the co-founder and President of Run for Something, a national organization that recruits and supports young, diverse progressives running for local office. She's also the author of the book, “Run for Something: A Real Talk Guide to Fixing the System Yourself,” and previously hosted two podcasts, “Run for Something: The Podcast” and “Battleground”. She’s written for Elle, Cosmopolitan, The Nation, Teen Vogue, CNN.com, MTV.com, Buzzfeed, Vanity Fair, O Magazine, Crooked Media, and others. Before launching Run for Something, she was the email director for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign, digital director for Charlie Crist's 2014 Florida gubernatorial campaign, and an email writer for Barack Obama’s 2012 re-election campaign. Her new book, When We're In Charge: The Next Generation’s Guide to Leadership, is on sale May 13th and available now for pre-order.

I love this conversation because it helps folks at home understand how they can become a candidate for elected office and have a meaningful say in how government operates. It's an awesome call-to-action chat which stresses the critical need right now of staying positive, staying engaged, and running for something!
