America Amplified: Election 2020 will explore local community perspectives, with a mission to foster dialogue, not debate; share experiences; and elevate diverse voices.
Episodes will be driven by the topics and issues raised during ongoing virtual listening sessions with people from across the country — from rural communities in the Mountain West and small towns in Pennsylvania, to coal country in West Virginia and Wyoming, as well as Atlanta, Florida, and across the Midwest.
