Welcoming Democrats Abroad Turkiye (Season 12, Ep2)
Description
Keith Brannum and Hope Mandel visit the cafe to talk about Democrats Abroad's newest country committee: DA Turkiye, which they lead as chair and vice chair.
The two talk about the steps involved in bringing the committee to viability, from the earliest phone calls to existing members, to recognition at Democrats Abroad's most recent annual meeting.
They share impressions of Istanbul, their ongoing conversation about contacting existing members vs finding new ones, and how they'll go about getting out the vote among Americans living in Turkiye.
The conversation also touches on Turkish pastries, the need for a podcast on Turkish men, and a vision of Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney dancing to the Pogues at a summer music festival.
