Sara Wolk cares deeply about making sure everyone's vote truly counts equally. We are accustomed to giving star ratings to so many things in our society — books, films, restaurants, hotels, music albums, the list goes on. Our favorites get five stars, and we don’t give any stars when we have a bad experience.Why not use the same star ratings for political candidates? Sara Wolk is the Executive Director of the Equal Vote Coalition, a nonprofit fighting for true equality in the vote itself. Her background spans from the sustainable agriculture and architecture fields to participating on an ecological survey project to protect Ecuador’s Cloud Forests that helped cement an international judicial precedent on the rights of nature. Today, she is a peer-reviewed author on electoral reform, speaker, researcher, content creator, and organizer focused on teaching people about voting methods and the way they shape our society. When she’s not busy upgrading our political system, Sara races small sailboats and loves to play music. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
