Dropping out of society, ignoring the bad news, and simply getting on with our lives is a common daydream many of us seem to share. Unfortunately, that's not realistic given the perilous times in which we live. In this episode, Mary Baker and Kimberly Miller from Citizens for Free Speech discuss recent news articles that remind us the battle for our freedom must be fought civilly and proactively. Complacency and complicity is not an option. We are called to run toward the conflict by engaging in our local communities and showing up at the ballot box in the coming year.

A distinct stereotype comes to mind when one thinks of the word activist. It is often associated with a coercive, retaliatory, or even violent persona. In this episode, CFFS director Kimberly Miller and national training director Mary Baker explore an alternative, more transformative view of the activist moniker that emerged over the course of a three-month collaborative discussion among members of Local Activist Accelerator. Three key characteristics, along with their distinguishing traits, became clear. Mary Baker has consolidated the results of the conversation into a newly-produced video called Portrait of a Local Activist that will inspire a new, more hopeful perspective of what it means to participate in the public process to effect change.

CFFS Executive Director Kimberly Miller and CFFS National Training Director Mary Baker unite to resume the Stand & Deliver Podcast.
The recent observance of Constitution Day on Sept. 17 is the springboard for this week's conversation and centers around the idea that the document and the form of government was intended for an engaged citizenry. Kimberly and Mary explore what that means, especially in light of unalienable rights and the concepts of power versus authority. Highlighted within the discussion are three recent news stories that illustrate how citizens are most effective exercising their power and influence and power at the local level.
