While mass media is dominated by horse-race coverage (who’s winning, who’s losing), our Thought Leaders provide a bit of alternative programming for voters who are curious and eager to learn. And in a world of TikTok attention spans, these collections invite voters to slow down, read long-form journalism, listen to podcasts, watch videos and explore resources. We hope this curation will challenge, inform and inspire voters. You may not agree with all the perspectives, but they will hopefully make you a smarter citizen.

In light of our current political environment, several of our Thought Leaders address political violence and incivility. Whatever your party affiliation, I especially encourage you to read these thoughtful packages and to share them with others. America is a remarkable and special democracy, and one that we should all cherish and protect.

Please explore our Thought Leaders’ curation, and don’t forget to vote! Our friends at Rock the Vote have a state-by-state guide to help you.
