Are American elections safe and fair? A conversation with Vermont Secretary of State Sarah Copeland Hanzas and Skye Perryman, President and CEO of Democracy Forward

This week, Andy sits down with people fighting to protect our democracy on the frontlines. Vermont Secretary of State Sarah Copeland Hanzas is on the ground running elections, protecting voter data from federal overreach, and keeping our systems secure even as resources dry up. Skye Perryman, President and CEO of Democracy Forward, has helped lead hundreds of legal actions to hold the Trump administration accountable, from voting rights to basic government transparency. They tell the truth about what's actually threatening our elections right now, what's happening in the courts to stop it, and what it's going to take to protect every American's right to vote heading into a critical midterm year. Plus, don't miss a special Ask Andy with some high school students with a lot of questions.

Democracy isn't self-executing – it only works when we do. It couldn't be a more timely or important conversation, tune in now.
