  • Summary

  • Part 2 of our Building Systems of Care Episode focuses on the work of West Virginia Can't Wait, an organization aiming to replace those in power with pro-democracy candidates. Founded in 2018, the group has seen significant success, with 29 of their candidates now in office. They face backlash, including threats and internet trolling, but have developed a Community Defender program to support mental health and physical safety. During the COVID-19 pandemic, they implemented a neighborhood defense program, combining voter outreach with mutual aid, which increased voter turnout by up to 20%. The organization emphasizes self-governance and direct action, highlighting the power of community-led initiatives over traditional political systems.
