The coalition that makes up NashvilleForAllofUs.org is impressive and we’ve been fortunate enough to have some of its members on the show to talk to us about the importance of voting Against/Against (early voting until Saturday at noon at the Howard School, election day on Thursday from 7 am to 7 pm at your usual polling place.)
So, if you’re still not sure of the importance and still need reasons to vote Against/Against, we offer you the “Against Liberadio(!) Interview Series.” Wait. We offer you the “Liberadio(!) Against Interviews Series.” Darnit. Here’s the “Liberadio(!) Presents: The Against/Against Interview Series.”
Each interview focuses on the effect the passing of the referendum will have on our guests’ area of expertise.
