Inauguration Celebration (Episode 18)

On January 20th, we celebrated the end of the Trump era, the end of the majority leader McConnell era and the passing of Oregon's landmark ballot measures by chatting with the leaders who made them happen. We talked about the importance of staying involved and how to do so, then celebrated with a dance party live streamed from Holocene. It was a truly special event that included a cameo from @berniesanders official and felt like the closest thing to an actual party in nearly a year. Expect more live events like this, starting next month!
