Playing Offense for Democracy: Steve Phillips

About this episode

Mila Atmos discusses democracy and civic engagement with Steve Phillips, focusing on multiracial democracy and civic action tools.

We discuss the case for SWAMP audits, how we can truly build a multiracial democracy, and why we're going to have to fight for it. Steve's civic action toolkit recommendations are: 1) Find your Minimum Viable Community and engage 2) Do a SWAMP audit! Steve Phillips is the founder of Democracy in Color, a political media organization dedicated to race, politics, and the multicultural progressive New American Majority. His new book is Are White Men Smarter Than Everybody Else?: Playing Offense in the Fight for Racial Justice in America. Let's connect!
