What is “We Lived It?”

As voters choose the next President, Olivia feels a moral duty to ensure people are well-informed about the implications for national security and personal freedoms. Regardless of political affiliation, American politics has become increasingly divisive and hostile, driven by misinformation and a lack of civil discourse. Through this weekly newsletter, Olivia aims to guide the country back to a democracy that values bipartisanship and is upheld by elected officials dedicated to serving all citizens.

We Lived It is produced in partnership with COURIER, a pro-democracy media company.
