We're back with our Season 2 opener! Today’s topic is “Collective Impact” and we explore the question, “How can different communities come together to advocate for change with a common agenda?” We recorded last week at a town hall event in Kent, WA, called "Not To Be Ignored: Veterans + American Muslims."

The event panel was an all-star cast of community leaders and elected officials including Susannah Cunningham, Executive Director of Only Through Us; Congressman Adam Smith (WA-09), ranking member of the House Armed Services Committee; State Representative Kristine Reeves (D-30); MG (ret.) Paul Eaton, senior adviser to VoteVets.org; East Wenatchee City Councilman Matthew Hepner; and U.S. Navy reservist LCDR Abdul Memon.
