Equality Utah's Troy Williams dives deep into bridging divides and the community cost of culture wars. Plus, the League of Women Voters of Utah on bills affecting your vote, and HEAL Utah on accessing the halls of power at the Utah Capitol.

Tonight's show features the following people, organizations and/or events. Check them out and get plugged into your community!

Ready to access the halls of power? Melanie Hall and Meisei Gonzalez of HEAL Utah on civic engagement, protecting communities from air pollution, advancing clean energy, and protecting communities from radioactive and toxic exposure — all bill topics the nonprofit is tracking this session. Plus, Hall and Gonzalez reveal what they would do on Day 1, should they ever be elected Leader of the Free World.

RadioACTive has partnered with the League of Women Voters of Utah to keep an eye on legislative action at #ThePeoplesHouse. Listen as League President Kathy Biele and Christina Phillips, director of the league's Legislative Action Corps, shine a light on bills affecting your vote. And talk about the long-game — the League is rolling out a 50-year plan to end the Electoral College!

Equality Utah's Executive Director, Troy Williams, shares his thoughts on leadership this Presidents Day, and ways we can take individual responsibility to move beyond our polarized times. One of the thought leaders whose writings have helped him move from street protestor to political insider is Arthur Brooks, author of Love Your Enemies: How Decent People Can Save America from the Culture of Contempt.
