As America’s 250th birthday approaches, Liz & Sean wade into what’s going well, our tortured history, and how We the People can help move toward a more perfect union.

We discuss how power and money are still being concentrated in the hands of a few, how well American government is designed, and how much politics interferes, including via political think tanks designed to divide us. We talk about the future, and Liz outs herself as an unexpected patriotic environmentalist.

Listen to learn more about America’s rebellious spirit, the resilience of our democracy, and how to demand bipartisan collaboration to move our country forward.

Joanne Kilgour, environmental lawyer and Executive Director of the Ohio River Valley Institute (ORVI), joins hosts Liz and Sean to unpack myths of dirty industry. Joanne discusses ORVI’s research and data about the health and environmental harms caused by fossil fuel and petrochemical facilities, as well as how they fail to deliver investments they promise communities. She also breaks down how companies use “greenwashing” to downplay environmental damage. As always, we leave listeners with why we’re hopeful and how we can take action in service of our constitutional right to breathe clean air. And Liz ups her pickle snack game to mess with Sean.
