Hi everyone! Alex and Max here. We're two young activists who are fairly new to the political world, recently energized by Bernie Sanders' presidential campaign. Although we're sad he came up short, we're incredibly proud of that movement and genuinely impressed by the things it was able to accompli…
Alex and Max discuss the ridiculous Florida weather and highlight the recent "No Justice, No Pride" movement in our first "Movement Highlight" segment. They then look into the 2013-2016 movement to stop the Lake Pickett developments in East Orange County, Florida. Alex talks to Orange County Commissioner Emily Bonilla, who started the movement to pressure the county government and then made a successful run to unseat the incumbent commissioner, who wasn't responsive to the pressure. Special thanks to Music by David Fau for the fantastic instrumentals!
Alex and Max introduce Sometimes People Win and discuss their goals for the podcast and their motivations for starting it.
