The Heartland POD

The Increasingly Anti-Democratic Push Against Ballot Initiatives in America, with Jenna Spinelle from Penn St McCourtney institute for democracy

46 min • 20 september 2022

Jenna Spinelle is a podcast producer based in State College, Pennsylvania and recently released a series called When the People Decide (http://thepeopledecide.show) that looks at how ballot initiatives and the people who organize them are changing American politics. She has talked with Benjamin Singer of Show Me Integrity for one episode and several others feature the heartland in some way (Nebraska, Cincinnati, and South Dakota just to name a few). Jenna joins Adam Sommer and Rachel Parker to talk about the power that the initiative offers everyday citizens — especially at a time when it feels like the courts and the legislature are not going to save us. Plus, the threats to the initiative process and how grassroots organizations like Show Me Integrity and Reclaim Idaho are pushing back against them.
