Season 2, Episode 1 - Take Action Tuesdays at Teachers College

Media and Social Change Podcast

We talk with Matthew Camp, Director of Government Relations and a PhD student at Teachers College, Columbia University, about the college's #TakeActionTuesday initiative and related civic engagement activities going on across campus. We recorded this conversation on November 5, 2018, one day before the closely watched 2018 midterm elections. Matt's message is clear: Vote, AND... Voting is a good step, an important step, but as he and others at the college urge, civic action must be, as Matt puts it, quotidian and not merely episodic. So give it a listen and get inspired to VOTE, and... contact your representative, take part in local activities, use social media for public good, and build coalitions to have your voice - verbal and otherwise - find audiences across platforms.
