Graham Platner on Guns, Organizing, Politics and his Commitment to Mainers

Activate Maine founder Rachel sat down recently with U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner at the Cumberland County Fair.

In a wide-ranging conversation, the two talked about family, organizing, oligarchy, guns, invisible disabilities, absentee voting, and talking to neighbors with differing political views. They dug into who a “working person” really is, and why mutual aid is a radical act right now - and one that many Mainers already embody. Is Graham the real person he seems to be? What does he say when Rachel asks him if he'll remain loyal to Maine people if he is elected to the Senate? What is his advice for turning anger into action? What is the one thing Graham believes will pull us back from brink? Is he more than his Optimus Prime voice? Watch and find out!
