We at The World put a call out to hear from immigrants voting for the first time here in the US. One person we spoke to was Deo-Lynn Miranda from South Africa. She tells host Marco Werman that her parents’ experience being denied the vote under apartheid taught her the value of casting her ballot.
At The World, we believe strongly that human-centered journalism is at the heart of an informed public and a strong democracy. We see democracy and journalism as two sides of the same coin. If you care about one, it is imperative to care about the other.
Every day, our nonprofit newsroom seeks to inform and empower listeners and hold the powerful accountable. Neither would be possible without the support of listeners like you. If you believe in our work, will you give today? We need your help now more than ever! Every gift will be matched 2:1, so your impact will go even further.
