Ep. 86: John Mulkins on Building the Movement for a New Constitution
<p>“We don’t need two legislatures to enact a piece of legislation. You want to have representation? Create an assembly of people who can faithfully represent the people and let them deliberate about whatever legislation they have in mind and let them make their own decisions. You’d need someone across the hall saying ‘No, the people can’t do that… the people are dangerous.’” </p><p>Luke talks with John Mulkins, creator and host of the <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/peaceful-political-revolution-in-america/id1592429626" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"><em>Peaceful Political Revolution in America</em></a> podcast. Luke and John share how they each came to fight for a democratic constitution, the necessity of ideological and strategic leadership, and what will be important to keep in mind in the many struggles ahead. John also shares the knowledge he has gained through his podcast, and how he approached the work of educating the public. </p><p><em>It takes a lot of work to plan, record, and edit each episode.
