#12- Get Out and Vote With Philadelphia School Teacher Luigi Borda

Today's episode of the podcast I am joined by 30 year school teacher and City Commissioner hopeful Luigi Borda. Luigi has made it his personal mission to help solve the voting crisis in Philadelphia. In the last Primary election in May of 2018 "Just 17 percent of registered voters bothered to show up for Tuesday's primary — the 825,000 other voters didn't bother"(https://www.philly.com/philly/news/politics/what-we-can-learn-from-low-pa-primary-election-turnout-and-why-it-matters-that-just-1-in-6-philly-voters-showed-up-20180521.html) The job of City Commissioner is to get more people involved in the voting process in Philadelphia and my students and I use this interview to get to the heart of the issue of why people in Philadelphia do not vote. We hope you enjoy !If you're interested in learning more about Luigi's campaign visit https://voteborda.com/.
