As we come up on Thanksgiving and the holiday season, I started to think of all the things in my life I was thankful for and I kept returning to having a roof over my head. America’s homelessness crisis has become extraordinary and housing has becomes out of reach for so many Americans. Not just in the big cities, but all over the country. Yes, it’s partially a mental health issue, but it’s also a cost of living issue and greed issue. Everything has become too expensive, we don’t make enough money, and we can’t afford to live like we used to. Sometimes that means we can’t afford to live anywhere at all. Someone who knows this feeling first hand is Konstantine Anthony, the Mayor of Burbank, candidate for LA County Supervisor and former unhoused person himself. Join us for a terrific conversation about not only turning your life around, and to go from needing help to helping others, but what we can do to be that helping hand in this increasingly difficult world. As always, if you enjoy what we do, please consider SUBSCRIBING to PoliticsGirl Premium.

It’s election day in America and all over the country people are choosing the direction they want their country to go. While citizens exercise their right to vote, we know there are people actively looking to undermine and disrupt the process to their own ends. Which is why we can no longer afford to be reactive about our democracy. We must be strategic. There are people out here trying to destroy it, so we have to be working just as hard to save it. Nowhere will that work be more obvious in 2024 than in battleground states. Join me and Nevada Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar as we talk about the work he’s doing in Nevada, and with other Secretaries of State, to get strategic about protecting our votes and our democracy now, and for the future. As always, if you enjoy what we do, please consider SUBSCRIBING to PoliticsGirl Premium.

"Welcome to the world of reality denial, where truth is subordinate to ideology, feelings have more weight than evidence, and democracy hangs in the balance”. We are in a disinformation war in America where the goal of those creating the lies is not just to get us to question some particular fact - vaccines don’t work, covid isn’t real, the election was stolen - but to question your trust in people who might tell you the truth. As Lee says, “Don’t just lie - Polarize.” The right has done this incredibly well by exploiting preexisting grievances and resentments to form a community around the “us against them” narrative where the other side isn’t just biased, they’re evil. So what do we do when doubt can be overcome by evidence but trust can not. How do you get people to believe the truth then their very identity is wrapped up in NOT believing it?As always, if you enjoy what we do, please consider SUBSCRIBING to PoliticsGirl Premium.

If you have to work for a living, then you’re working class, and the sooner we realize most of us are in the same boat, the sooner we can ban together and ask for what we need. John Russell and I talk about how we have more to gain from solidarity than division, and as John says, “It comes down to power. If we want to find common ground, and close the hate gap, it’s essential we realize our futures are irrevocably tied together”. Yes, we need to elect people who will support our needs, but we don’t have to wait around for politicians to start making change. We can start that all on our own though action. As always, if you enjoy what we do, please consider SUBSCRIBING to PoliticsGirl Premium.

Democracy’s white knight Marc Elias joins us to explain that we aren’t just fighting election suppression & subversion, we’re now fighting election vigilanteism and the new Republican strategy of standing in defiance of the law itself. The GOP seems to have decided it’s simply good politics to say you’re fighting a corrupt system when you, yourself, are the ones corrupting it. As Marc points out, one of the biggest ways to stop these extreme moves against our elections is to raise awareness of what’s going on. So today we talk what’s happening, what’s being done to counter it, and what we can all do to support democracy moving forward. As always, if you enjoy what we do, please consider SUBSCRIBING to PoliticsGirl Premium.

The 2024 senate map is rough. The Republicans only need to win 2 seats to change the balance of power and the Democrats have 8 that are considered vulnerable. It’s not only essential we win every seat we already have, but we have to buckle down and defend the ones we can’t lose. With that in mind, today’s guest is Michigan Congresswoman Elissa Slotkin, running to replace retiring Democratic senator Debbie Stabenow. Elissa and I talk about the chaos in the House of which she is currently a member, the importance of continuing to fund Ukraine in this battle between democracy and autocracy, and the importance of keeping the Senate in this time of deep political instability. It’s an amazingly informative & activating conversation.As always, if you enjoy what we do, please consider SUBSCRIBING to PoliticsGirl Premium.

Join public safety advocate Fred Guttenberg as he discusses the threats to democracy, the urgency for action on gun violence, the positive impact of President Biden's actions, debunking gun ownership myths, and the importance of hope, action, and voting in promoting positive change.

Presidential third parties are deceiving the public. They claim to offer a choice, but what they’re offering is an illusion. A dream that somehow their candidate could defy history and do something no 3rd party candidate has been able to do, and win the presidency. There is no grey area here. If you buy what they’re selling and give them your vote, you are fundamentally helping elect Donald Trump to destroy American democracy. I’m not being hyperbolic. There’s too much on the line in 2024 to split the “we would like to remain a democracy” vote. We simply can’t afford the mistake of No Labels, the Green Party or RFK on the Presidential ticket.

You want to make a difference to our democracy? Get more people registered to vote. Today we talk to Jason Berlin, the Executive Director of Field Team 6, which since its founding in 2019 has helped register almost 2.9 million Democratic voters, the vast majority in swing states. Jason and his team are a proudly “partisan voter registration” group looking to “track down every good hearted eligible voter and get them on the voter rolls where they belong”. Relentlessly optimistic, Jason and his army of volunteers have disproved the idea that you can’t out organize cheating, and know that non-voters are actually the key to democratic victories across this country. So tuck in and listen to what you can personally do to turn the tide and shut these cheaters down in 2023, 2024, and beyond.As always, if you enjoy what we do, please consider SUBSCRIBING to PoliticsGirl Premium.
