Politics is one of those careers that is featured frequently in television and movies, but how much do we really know about it?  In this week's episode, we examine ways you can get into politics and what it's like when you're there.  Our guest is Maria Robles Meier, a political staffer and inclusion expert who grew up in a working-class family in Nebraska and built a career working on Capitol Hill, ultimately running the Senate Diversity Initiative under former Senator Harry Reid.  Maria and Michael talk about what it's like being the only person who looks like you, the difference between being fully engaged and only one foot in, and how she ended up having 1,500 individual networking meetings (that is not a typo!).

26. Careers in Politics, with Maria Robles Meier

Maria is a high school student from Tennessee, following in her brothers' footsteps in activism, who fought for the original DREAM Act! Learn about Maria's passion for immigration reform, her experience as a Guatemalan growing up in Tennessee! She's currently a part of JUMP Junior Research Collective working to collect stories of undocumented students, and finding underlying themes that are most pressing, such as paying 3x as much for tuition, and a hesitation for activism out of fear of putting their parents in danger. Also that ONE annoying vote that would have won tuition equality!
