Stop Complaining, Start Participating: Legislature 101 — Dave After Dark

Politics isn't just something that happens on TV or in Washington — it happens locally, and it happens whether you're involved or not.

In this Dave After Dark episode, we break down Legislature 101: how a bill is actually introduced, how it moves through committees, how testimony works, and where everyday citizens still have real influence in the process. This is a practical, no-nonsense guide to understanding your state legislature and learning how to engage it directly.

If you've ever asked "How do these laws get passed?" or "What can I realistically do about it?" — this episode is for you. From tracking legislation to showing up, testifying, and making your voice heard, this is about replacing apathy with action and turning frustration into participation.
