T.J. O'Hara is joined by Josh Silver.

Josh is a veteran election and media reform executive. He was the campaign manager for the successful 1998 Arizona Clean Elections ballot initiative, and is the co-founder and former CEO of Free Press, a leading media and technology reform advocacy organization.

Silver has been profiled in the Wall Street Journal and featured in outlets including the New York Times, Washington Post, USA Today, Newsweek, NPR, and CBS Sunday Morning.

The two discuss the growing anti-corruption movement and why it matters, the South Dakota Legislature repealing the South Dakota Anti-Corruption Act that voters passed last year, the Unrig the System summit which is coming up in February, and will be a huge opportunity for the movement.
