Ally Audio: The March Toward 3.5%

On this episode of Ally Audio, Noah talks about the latest on data centers in the region and some drama around the library board. Then, he adds context around last weekend’s No Kings rallies, and what getting to 3.5% participation would mean for the movement.

To wrap up, Noah was recently interviewed on the Small Press, Big Ideas podcast where he got to talk about the future of journalism and how the Ally is working on solving some pretty challenging issues, and we share a snippet of that conversation.
