I sat down with Mikaela Henninger, Melanie Tompkins, and Janel Underwood-Charette, co-founders of the Aroostook Organizers for Change to talk about the beginnings of AOC and their goals for the future. From advocating for the preservation (and restoration) of women’s rights to organizing food drives and local deliveries, these women are making sure their voices, and those of everyone else in Aroostook County and beyond, are heard.

This video is the first in a series featuring my interview with these progressive activists where they share their thoughts and feelings about the current state of affairs in local and national politics and how they intend to galvanize change starting with grass-roots movements in Aroostook County.

Stay tuned for more videos featuring my interview with the AOC crew!
