In a fraught & fast-paced political climate, Mackenzie Brennan, Court Attorney for the NY Supreme Court, and writer Brooke Rogers, tackle politics and human rights with a focus on law, policy, and reason. As young women from different backgrounds and fields, Mackenzie and Brooke aim to show that minds can be changed with understanding, disagreement can be passionate AND civil, and taboo topics should be dissected openly. And that policy talk pairs well with one or three Michelob Ultra(s)™️.
