Recently on Terrified Nation, I had the privilege of speaking with Maria Yuan, the founder of IssueVoter.org about the importance of civic engagement and how we can stay informed about the actions of our representatives. Maria is one of the smartest and most genuine people I know, and her journey is one of innovation, growth, and a deep commitment to democracy.
In our conversation, we explored how Maria structures her day to stay focused on her mission—while embracing the flexibility needed to innovate in such a fast-paced world. We discussed the challenge of accountability and the importance of maintaining momentum in civic advocacy. Through it all, Maria’s values shine through: learning, positivity, and strength.
Here’s the big takeaway from today’s episode: connection is key, whether in our professional or personal lives. We all have people we’ve met along the way who have shaped our paths. If we take the time to reach out, even just with a simple message, we never know where it might lead. These relationships are the fabric of a resilient society, and as Maria so eloquently put it, “If more of us did that, think how much better our country would be.”
I encourage you to check out IssueVoter.org to learn more about how you can make your voice heard and stay informed. Maria’s work is changing the game in civic engagement, and it’s a reminder that we all have a role in shaping the future of democracy.
Tune in to today’s episode to hear more about Maria’s journey, the future of IssueVoter, and how we can all become more connected in our advocacy.
