Five Questions with George Takei

Today I’m launching an exciting feature on Civil Discourse. The series “Five Questions with…” will feature short interviews with people you want and need to hear from, sharing their insights about how to strengthen our democracy. 

Although this new feature is only for paid subscribers, please don’t worry if you’re an unpaid subscriber. I value having you here, and the newsletters you’re used to receiving throughout the week will remain free and available to everyone. But I wanted to do something extra, in addition to our comment forums, to thank paid subscribers, whose support makes it possible for me to devote time to researching and writing Civil Discourse.

I can’t think of a better person to start this series than actor and democracy advocate George Takei. Every single word he shares with us is pure gold!
