Hey filmmakers — the Early Bird Deadline for the Defense of Democracy Film Festival is March 31! If you've got a documentary that speaks truth to power, now's your chance. Submit at filmfreeway.com/ddff2026 and let's make some noise together. 🎬 #dofd #defenseofdemocracy

Coming soon on our podcast is Kristen Schultz, Kansas House District 43 candidate and part of a growing wave of women, mothers & small business owners saying "enough" and running for office themselves.

There's a national hotline that connects people who are scared about democracy with trained operators who help them do something about it. That line runs on donations. $10 goes a long way. Chip in here: givebutter.com/defense-of-d... #dofd #defenseofdemocracy
