On this week's episode, we welcome Larissa Hopwood, also known widely as “Lolly,” to the show. Larissa has lived in Bucks County since 1999. In addition to being a local activist and Democratic Committee Person, she's also a children's musician, author, teacher, designer, and proud mother of a trans son.
Recently, Larissa co-founded the Doylestown Action League, which has been organizing rallies and community forums in the County Seat. She joins us today to talk about her work with the newly formed Doylestown Action League, Bucks County’s local community of activists and organizers, and how you can get involved in the fight to save our country and democracy in your own neighborhood.
