Political Evolution is an exploration of the American government's past, present, and future and the impact of public policy decisions on the lives of people in poor and marginalized communities. Join us as we speak to professors, analysts, policymakers, and community leaders to unpack the current news cycle, history, and the commonalities between the two. Hosted by Whittney Richardson, a lawyer, political analyst, and fierce advocate for a more just and equitable America.
One of the reasons I created this show is to amplify the voices of people working to improve the lives of people within their community, often unsung.
In today’s episode, I will be talking to Kimara Snipes with the Nebraska Civic Engagement Table. She is an organizer, community advocate, and champion of civic engagement. We’re gonna talk with her about her journey to community organizing as well as the work that she and her team are leading at the Nebraska Civic Engagement Table. Tune in to hear why I call her the modern-day Shirley Chisholm! Follow Me on Twitter @whittneyrich! (https://twitter.com/whittneyrich)

The Impact of the Current Political Climate on the 2024 Election
There's been so much going on politically that it's hard to know where to begin! In today's episode, I discuss the Speaker of the House fiasco from the top of the year, the lack of action by Attorney General Merrick Garland, and why we should be asking if Biden can beat DeSantis instead of whether Biden is too old to run.
