Jason’s organization, Field Team 6, treats voter registration as the most underfunded but decisive lever of political power.
Joy, humor, and face-to-face connection aren’t aesthetic choices—they’re strategic tools against cynicism and burnout.
Sustainable progress depends on registering new voters, not just mobilizing the ones campaigns already know.
In this conversation, Susan and Jason frame organizing as both resistance and repair, rooted in meaning rather than spectacle or personal branding. Jason’s journey insists that democracy doesn’t regenerate itself through messaging, outrage, or viral moments, but through patient, cumulative work that compounds long after any single election cycle ends. He pushes back hard on the Democratic Party’s obsession with turnout while millions of potential voters are never asked to participate, especially in spaces like community colleges that campaigns routinely overlook.
