TED: A crash course in making political change | Katie Fahey

The speaker shares their journey from feeling disillusioned with politics to leading a successful movement to end gerrymandering in Michigan. Through a Facebook post, they rallied over 10,000 volunteers, navigated the ballot initiative process, and gathered signatures to amend the state constitution. The effort led to the creation of an independent redistricting commission, ensuring fair elections. The speaker emphasizes the power of ordinary citizens in democracy and encourages others to take action on issues they care about.
