Pantsuit Politics

We cannot begin to express our gratitude to everyone who made the Nuance Nation Tour possible this fall. Our teams of listener volunteers went above and beyond in each city; we simply could not have done this tour without them. Special thanks also to our amazing guests: Rev. Dr. Penny Nixon in San Mateo, Piper Perabo and Michelle Finocchi in Thousand Oaks, Rep. Haley Stevens in Troy, Michigan, Amy McGrath in Louisville, Susan Page in Washington D.C., and MJ Hegar in Dallas.Sponsors:BlinkistBrooklinenModclothThank you for being a part of our community!
