Ep 3- Lindsey Boylan | The Courage to Stand

*Quick Note- Lindsey's interview was done in late 2025, prior to her running for NYC Council District 3 In a world where party loyalty seems to be stronger than loyalty to integrity and truth, Lindsey Boylan stood up for what's right, regardless of the consequences. Lindsey shares how her childhood and young adultlife led her from the west coast to the east coast, and ultimately, NYC government and politics. During the height of NY Governor Cuomo's popularity, she spoke out against the injustices done to her and other women. And, she did so against her own Democratic party, because it was required to do so. Her strength exposed Cuomo and empowered countless other women (past, current and future) to stand up against abuse and harassment. Lindsey also shares how being a mother continues to shape her and strengthens her mission.

The term is linked to a Founding Father and former Vice President (ironic). It's existed for much of America's 250 years, but it's never happened like this.
