“It always circles back to politics” (w/ Chloe Maxmin and Canyon Woodward from Dirt Road Revival)
So you live in a rural community that’s been ignored by the Democratic establishment, but you want to get involved in the political system. So, what do you do?
For Chloe Maxmin and Canyon Woodward, taking the lessons they’d learned while working in the climate movement and applying them to what they knew about Chloe’s rural home community taught them a lot about how to win campaigns in rural spaces. After working together to get Chloe elected to the Maine statehouse - the youngest woman ever to serve as a Maine Senator - they collaborated again on a book filled with helpful action items for Democratic rural candidates looking to run successful campaigns.
