What if creating political change didn’t require running for office?
In this episode, I’m joined by Emily Anastasiou and Lily Patricof, two leaders helping redefine what civic engagement looks like for the next generation. Through organizations like Juno and The Next 50, they’re empowering women to become informed political donors, build meaningful community, and invest strategically in the leaders shaping our future.
Together, we explore:
* Why voting is only one part of civic participation
* How strategic giving can influence elections and public policy
* Why women remain underrepresented as political donors
* The importance of community, civic education, and respectful dialogue
* How local and state races can have an outsized impact on national politics
This conversation is a reminder that meaningful political participation isn’t reserved for candidates or career politicians. It’s available to anyone willing to show up, stay informed, and invest in the future they want to create.
Whether you’re politically engaged or simply wondering where to begin, this episode offers practical ways to make a difference beyond Election Day.
If this conversation inspired you to think differently about civic engagement and the role each of us can play in creating change, I’d love to hear your thoughts.
