Here in the United States we are at the center of a global pandemic and the greatest political turmoil in generations. What sparks political engagement? In Boccaccio's Decameron, Pampinea berates her peers for accepting second-class status, and demands that they reorganize their society to ensure their survival. In this bonus episode, J.M.Meyer interviews Karen Alvarado, Erin Bogert, and Cassandra Vaz about what sparked their political engagement, and how they can imagine a more just post-pandemic voting system.
