Duca investigates and explains the issues at the main of our ailing political program and reimagines what an equitable democracy would appear to be. It starts with teenagers getting included. People like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the youngest girl ever to be elected to Congress; David and Lauren Hogg, two survivors of the Parkland, Florida capturing who continued to become advocates for gun control; Amanda Litman, who founded the non-profit organization Operate For Something, to aid progressive young people in down ballot elections; and so many more.
