Q. Before I let you go, I have two more questions in the “what makes you tick” department. First of all, why do you do this?

I have been trying to figure that out for a long time. But I think it has to do with my people’s tradition that is known as tikkun olam. This means “repairing the world” in Hebrew, and it has always been a value for me and my family. So I think democracy work fits into that value. If we repair America, we go a long way toward repairing the world. It’s actually quite a beautiful thing to think about – a repaired America that is helping the world in a positive way.

What keeps you going?

Sometimes I have thought that I need to stop. My family and my husband need me too. So I am trying to find a way to balance my life so I can give my family what it needs, and continue in this important work. I can’t imagine stopping. It just isn’t in my vision of my life.


Thank you very much, Nancy, for sharing your vision of American grass-roots democracy, and for getting this series off to a great start!
