About this episode

Steve Pierson interviews Will Baum about his volunteer work and new project, the Election Action League.

Today Steve sits down with someone he’s been working with since the November 2016 “cohort”. Will Baum is a psychotherapist by trade but like many of us, has thrown himself into volunteering to help Democrats win. Among the many things he has done he was one of the founding members of Civic Sundays, he is the co-founder of the Resistance Boot Camp, and has been a vital part of a lot of grassroots initiatives including SoCalBlue and the Blue Voter Guide. He has a new project called the Election Action League that is “gamifying” volunteer work. All of this he does as a volunteer which makes it even more impressive and inspiring for all of us.
