Our weekly program, Making Democracy Work, is a collaboration between KSMU Radio and the League of Women Voters of Southwest Missouri. It's hosted and produced by volunteers from the LWV, and it airs each Monday morning at 9:45 on KSMU.
In this episode of our local program Making Democracy Work, host Leslie Carrier speaks with Lucus Caldwell-McMillan, chief of policy staff for Empower Missouri.
Today’s discussion looks at the mission of this statewide advocacy organization whose core mission is fighting poverty. Caldwell-McMillan talks about the importance of collective action and gives an overview of projects.
