How Our Democracy Became a Kleptocracy and How to Reclaim It
David Sirota, an award-winning journalist, author, podcaster, founder of the invaluable investigative news outlet, The Lever, and a one-time speechwriter for Bernie Sanders, is one of the nation’s most penetrating analysts of the corruption of our political system. For anyone interested in social movements and momentum for change, it’s hard to think of a more urgently important systems-level conversation in this critical moment in our history. In this session, David will be interviewed by Rose Aguilar, renowned Bay Area progressive journalist, host of KALW’s Your Call, the Bay Area’s premiere public affairs program, as he draws from his profoundly revelatory audio series and book, Master Plan, to elucidate the history of the corporate capture of our political system, where we stand today, and what we can do to begin to reclaim our democracy before it’s too late.
