What would it take to build the democracy we were promised — but never fully delivered?

Perfect Union Pending is a weekly interview show about law, policy, civic life, and what comes after broken systems. Hosted by Taylor Darcy, a civil litigation attorney turned media creator, this show features in-depth conversations with legal experts, policy thinkers, organizers, watchdogs, and everyday people working to make democracy more just, accountable, and accessible.

Each week, we dig into the civic stories behind the headlines — from SCOTUS decisions and protest crackdowns to digital surveillance, labor power, and election sabotage. These aren’t surface-level soundbites. We slow down, connect dots, and unpack how power works — and how it could work differently.

If you’re disillusioned by partisan noise but still believe in truth, accountability, and public courage, this show is for you. We don’t sugarcoat what’s broken. But we also don’t leave you in despair. Our goal is to highlight what’s possible, what’s next, and the people leading the charge — even when the road is hard.

Expect:
• One guest conversation per week
• Policy clarity without the legalese
• Real-life context behind the systems shaping your life
• Stories of resistance, reform, and the fight for a better union

Listen if you want:
• More than hot takes
• To connect policy with people
• To better understand how democracy breaks — and how it bends back toward justice

New episodes are released weekly. You can find us on YouTube and Substack under We Dissent Media or follow the project on X/Twitter and Bluesky [@WeDissentMedia].

Let’s build something better — together.
