Today I’m joined by Carol Sorenson, one of the leaders of Lone Tree Votes, which is an Indivisible group in Douglas County.

About this series:Since the election of Trump in 2016, many of us have had to take a deep look at our friendships, change our political affiliations, or examine our religious beliefs. Maybe you’ve had to do all three. It can be lonely and disorienting. If you’re ready to take action and make new friends who don’t avoid politics, or if you just want a good dose of hope in Douglas County, this series is for you. I’ll be highlighting local groups that are moving the needle and building community for people who believe in science, social justice, the rule of law, and democracy. (Don’t worry, I’ll be covering the school board election next).
