The transcript of this episode can be accessed by clicking the “Transcript” button below the title. Apologies for the poor audio quality and lack of edits; we had to overcome a few difficulties to get this one out.

Steven Raney is a member of Marxist Unity Group, a caucus in Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). He is also a member of Young Democratic Socialists of America (YDSA). This year, Steven is running for YDSA's National Coordinating Committee (NCC) at-large. Steven is the author of R21: Winning the Battle for Democracy, which was voted on and passed at last year’s YDSA convention. R21 has inspired similar resolutions, including one recently passed by Cleveland DSA. In this episode of the Democratic Constitution Podcast, Steven talks about why he’s running for the NCC, the necessity of resolutions like R21, discussions within DSA about the Constitution and democracy, and YDSA’s upcoming national convention.
