Sometimes we need to take a break from all the criticism of government to acknowledge the importance of government, especially when they’re doing good things. One of those good things was the recent creation of the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention because as we lose people to gun violence in our country every day, as America is put on “no travel” lists because of our gun epidemic, as we witness our suicide rates and accidental deaths by firearms grow exponentially, we clearly can’t continue to do nothing and the Biden Administration has said “Thoughts and prayers are not enough". As always, if you find worth in what we do, please consider SUBSCRIBING to PoliticsGirl Premium.

Author, professor and sociologist Michael Sierra-Arévalo talks to us about his detailed look into American policing with his new book The Danger Imperative: Violence, Death and the Soul of Policing. According to Arévalo, the story of policing isn’t the story of a few bad apples, but of an institutional structure and system that is essentially not working. The violence we see from our officers is the logical consequence of an institutional culture that privileges officers' survival over public safety. Policing and violence simply go hand in hand, and according to Michael, who’s seen much of it up close and personal, we’re not going to be able to train ourselves out of the problem.

Something magical is happening. As MAGA doubles down on extremism and chaos, they appeal to fewer and fewer Americans. At this point all they have is their mad king, while Democrats, liberals and anyone who believes in the American experiment has the opportunity to really make America into the country we tell people we are. We have to plan to win, organize to fight, and aim, not just for success, but for growth and expansion. We can do this and we should feel very exited about the opportunities ahead of us. As always, if you find worth in what we do, please consider SUBSCRIBING to PoliticsGirl Premium.

Exploring the need for a new media approach, Tara McGowan discusses Courier, a growing news network focusing on local news and big issues in bite-sized pieces. Highlighting the importance of supporting independent media in this critical election year.

“Anti-racist” isn’t an identity, it’s actions. It’s doing the work of deconstructing the systems of racism we were all raised in. Systems that harm us all. It’s not about being a “good person” or not being called “racist”, it’s about genuinely interacting with the world to make it better. And yeah, we’re going to make mistakes while we do it. We’re going to blow it and get embarrassed, but that doesn’t mean we should stop trying. Ultimately, it’s not about us. It’s about living and growing in a society where Diversity, Equity and Inclusion aren’t just a department, but a way of life. To join me to talk about all this is the amazing Tony Nabors, the owner and principal consultant of Racial Equity Insights who’s spent the past 20 years working to move people and organizations from “hesitancy about racial equity” to confidence, as they learn how to be effective and action orientated allies. This is a great conversation. I hope you’ll join us. As always, if you find worth in what we do, please consider SUBSCRIBING to PoliticsGirl Premium.

Here we are at the top of 2024 with MAGA extremism on a rocket ship to the moon and the GOP hell-bent on stripping away as many of our fundamental rights & freedoms as possible. We don’t have a second or dollar to waste. We want to win 2024. We NEED to win 2024. But it doesn’t have to be endlessly miserable or expensive to do it. Which is why I want you to hear from the Executive Director of Swing Left, Yasmin Radjy. Swing Left is one of the largest drivers of grassroots volunteers and donors across the country and we have an amazing talk about how to make a difference without getting 10,000 emails a day, or having to question where our money is even going. Absolutely worth your time. As always, if you find worth in what we do, please consider SUBSCRIBING to PoliticsGirl Premium.

We can’t take our eyes off this court for a minute. Which is why I’m joined by Melissa Murray and Kate Shaw, two constitutional professors and hosts of Crooked Media’s legal podcast Strict Scrutiny, to go over the cases you really have to know. From Donald Trump’s Presidential immunity and ballot presence, to abortion drug access, to the attempt of big money to gut our federal agencies’ ability to regulate, these are things you need to know. We can’t just have justices out here taking perks, and bribes, and cases, only to change our laws without us noticing. These people respond to our attention, so we can’t stop watching what they do. As always, if you find worth in what we do, please consider SUBSCRIBING to PoliticsGirl Premium.

If you look at statistics it was actually non-voters who won the last Presidential election. Too many people think their vote doesn’t count, or as our guest, Wayne Liebman says, they think their vote counts too much and are afraid to make a mistake. The Blue Voter Guide takes the burden out of voting. They do the research into the candidates, ballot initiatives, and endorsements so you can see who shares your values and build a ballot you can be proud of. As Wayne says, “political campaigns center on specific candidates and measures. The Blue Voter Guide shifts that focus to voters, solving their number one problem, which is ballot confusion.” The Blue Voter Guide not only helps voters make informed choices up and down the ballot, it makes the entire process quick and easy driving up turn out, and it’s turnout that wins elections. You NEED to know about this organization. As always, if you find worth in what we do, please consider SUBSCRIBING to PoliticsGirl Premium.
