Playing Defense for Democracy: Ezra Levin

January 30th, 2025

”Constituent power is real. You should take advantage of it.”

We discuss what we can all do to say "no" to Project 2025, including getting Democrats to play hardball in local, city, and state offices, and to protect and win elections this year and in the midterms next year.

Ezra Levin is the Co-Executive Director of Indivisible, which he co-founded with Leah Greenberg in the wake of the 2016 presidential election. He’s also the co-author of We Are Indivisible: A Blueprint for Democracy After Trump.

Your civic action toolkit recommendations from Ezra are:

1. Organize in your community with like-minded Americans.

2. Use your constituent power to influence the political calculus of your elected representative.
