In this season's final episode of the Being American Podcast, Gov. Patrick talks with Robert Hubbell, author of Today’s Edition Newsletter on Substack, about the fight to protect our democratic values and institutions and the importance of staying optimistic amid a sea of negativity and hyperpolarization.  Gov. Patrick wraps up Season 2 with an impassioned commentary urging the American people to be and stay engaged on the issues that matter most to them and their families, make their voices heard at the ballot box, and reminding them that only they can determine the direction of this country through the power of their vote.
