Liz shares her journey from mobilising women voters during the 2020 election to becoming a connector and strategist working to strengthen progressive voices online. As the founder of ConnectForward.org and host of the Demfluence Podcast, she operates at the intersection of politics, fundraising, digital media, and grassroots organising. Together, we explore the evolving political landscape and the urgent need for more effective and inclusive messaging. Liz reflects on lessons learned from recent elections, including how harsh rhetoric and partisan framing can sometimes alienate the very voters movements hope to reach. She discusses her own “strategic reset” and why pragmatic dialogue, community organising, and coalition-building are essential to rebuilding trust across political divides. Defending democracy isn’t only the work of politicians or institutions but something everyday people can do in their own communities. Whether through organising, conversation, or digital engagement, each of us has a role to play. If you care about democracy, political engagement, and building bridges in a divided era, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss. Fundraiser. Activist. Connector. </p><p>Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lizaminnella/?hl=en </p><p>Liz Minnella’s Website: https://www.lizminnella.com/ #WeCan #Democracy #PoliticalOrganizing #CivicEngagement #Podcast ________________________________________________________________________ </p><p>For any questions or inquiries regarding this video, please reach out to us @Wecan.Shecan </p><p>🔔 Don’t forget to subscribe, share your thoughts, and tell us who your favourite role model is? </p><p>👉 Connect with us on: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wecan.shecan/ </p><p>LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/shecan-world/ </p><p>Substack: https://shecan.substack.com </p><p>Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0MAiuylxS5AhxCSQcm8cax?si=003fe73047cd465c</p>","author_name":"Stephanie Ferrario"}
