In this episode Susan sits down with Nick Knudsen, Executive Director of DemCast USA, to explore the world of grassroots digital activism and how everyday people can take action in the fight against misinformation. Nick shares the inspiring story behind DemCast, a national network of citizen journalists, writers, and digital organizers dedicated to amplifying progressive voices and combating the spread of disinformation in our political landscape.
Nick explains how DemCast works, its mission to elevate fact-based reporting, and how anyone—whether you’re a seasoned activist or completely new to digital organizing—can get involved and become a part of this crucial movement. From writing articles to sharing verified information on social media, there are many ways to contribute and help build a more informed and engaged electorate.
