From the Office to the Hill: Working Across Politics, Government, & Impact

Anyone who’s worked in social impact knows that, just as political climate and administration shape our personal lives, so too do they affect our work, from what gets funded, to how our advocacy is framed in the zeitgeist, to everything in between. Some professionals toggle between working in politics and social impact to advance the change they’re fighting for, while others sit firmly in careers on one side or the other. How does that choice change your day-to-day experience in changemaking, and your efficacy? In this episode of the Issue Space podcast, we explore where politics and impact work intersect, and what that means for the folks who take on one or both in their careers.   About Working to make life better for humankind is both a privilege and a challenge, and no one knows this better than the folks who have made this work their day job. Issue Space is a  podcast and community for professional changemakers of every kind. Through candid conversations about the lived experience of social change work, we hold space to process life in the unique — and uniquely needed — business of impact.
