“Our task is not to fix the system so that it works better for the parties. It’s time to make the system work better for the people, for all the people, to aim everlastingly forward on the long road of social transformation.”

In a recent episode of the Civics 101 podcast, host Hannah McCarthy is joined by Independent Voting President Jackie Salit, New Hampshire Independent Voters President Tiani Coleman, and Samara Klar of the University of Arizona School of Government and Public Policy for a conversation about the growth and power of independent voters.

Rory Appleton from the Las Vegas Review-Journal contacted Jackie Salit for help in identifying independent voters to be on a panel of nonpartisan Nevada voters discussing local and statewide issues and the presidential election. Those on Appleton's panel (several of whom are members of our network) all expressed different ideologies, experiences and priorities, but shared one thing in common - the desire to break away from the two-party system.

Watch a panel of independent voters (including Independent Voting Board Member Dr. Jessie Fields, Sue Davies of New Jersey Independent Voters, and Daniel Battista of Baruch College, Civics Unplugged) express their dissatisfaction with the hyper-partisan impeachment process on a segment from Fox News.
