At the same time, we soft-launched our Always Open, Forever Free plan as an entry point for friends and fans of Fosgail to connect with one another and stay in touch.</p>/blog/2025/06/15/2025-06-15_advocacy-as-path-to-potential/Sun, 15 Jun 2025 12:16:00 -0400/blog/2025/06/15/2025-06-15_advocacy-as-path-to-potential/<p><em>Myka Kennedy Stephens and Cynthia Changyit Levin in conversation.</em></p> <p> <a href="https://fosgail.podbean.com/e/episode-5-advocacy-as-a-path-to-realize-potential/" class="btn btn-primary" title="« Listen to the Podcast Version » - external link" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Listen to the Podcast Version</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxPpml_1Hz8" class="btn btn-primary" title="« Watch the YouTube Version » - external link" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Watch the YouTube Version</a></p> <p> </p> <p>A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of sitting down in conversation with a long-time friend, author and activist Cynthia Changyit Levin. We first met when my family moved to a new area and we discovered our children were the same age. Over the four years we shared the same neighborhood, Cynthia (I knew her then as Cindy) regularly invited us to her house for letter writing campaigns or to join her at the local public library for community events. We&rsquo;ve stayed in touch even though we&rsquo;ve both moved away from the neighborhood where we met. I&rsquo;ve watched her influence on a variety of social and political issues grow while she&rsquo;s networked with lobbyists and members of Congress, published numerous letters-to-the-editor and op-eds in newspapers across the US, and became a successful author and speaker.</p>
