Daria Dawson is the Executive Director of America Votes, which coordinates more than 400 partners to engage and mobilize voters for elections up and down the ballot across the country. We discuss why 2024 is - yet again - the most important election of our lifetimes.The biggest threat to American democracy is fascism and thus the most important issue in this election is preserving our democracy. Of course, democracy and protecting democracy is a process and never just one election. The top priority for America Votes this year is electing leaders who are committed to protecting the foundations of our democratic system, so that our voices can continue to be heard and counted. Every vote matters. Elections have been won or lost on the margins, so it’s imperative that everyone turns out to vote.Follow Daria on X:https://twitter.com/DariaCharleiFollow Mila on X:https://x.com/milaatmosFollow America Votes on X:https://twitter.com/AmericaVotesFollow Future Hindsight on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/futurehindsightpod/Sponsor:Thanks to Shopify for supporting Future Hindsight!
