Issue Voter’s Maria Yuan simplifies democracy, nonpartisan voting, why petitions don’t work, and mindfulness in politics

Simplexity with Alyson Stoner

Politics and government can be very complex and confusing. Maria Yuan is the founder and CEO of Issue Voter, a free nonpartisan public service that explains issues and bills in layman's terms, connects you directly to your representative in congress, and alerts you when bills are being voted on that you care about so you can make your voice heard. We examine how small, one-time actions can invoke real legislative change, why petitions don’t necessarily work on federal issues, mindfulness in politics, entrepreneurship, and more!
