Redistricting in California, Grassroots Campaigns, & More With Fatima Iqbal-Zubair, Candidate for CA State Assembly (D64) Jul 28, 2021

Show notes

In this episode we officially leave Sammy’s NY territory and hop on over to Maddie’s in California to chat with Fatima Iqbal-Zubair who is a candidate running for CA State Assembly (D64). And when we say running in this case, we mean running as a grassroots progressive candidate against an incumbent Democrat. There’s tea and there’s real talk on what needs to change in her district and how she plans to make it happen. We also tap into redistricting happening as a result of the 2020 Census, what this means for voters, and so much more.

WTF is a Crisis Pregnancy Center & Women’s Health with Senator Cappelletti (PA-17) Jul 21, 2021

Show notes

It’s all in the branding isn’t it? That is very much the case of the concept of Crisis Pregnancy Centers, as well as that of Planned Parenthood. In our first deep dive conversation (we don’t know how it’s our first either) on women’s health and the politics surrounding it, we virtually sat down with State Senator Cappelletti (PA-17) to get into it all. Through our conversation we peeled back the branding on Crisis Pregnancy Centers, and dove into what on earth these centers do and how they’re even legal. We also tackle what’s on deck in the PA legislature for women’s health issues -- the good, the bad, and the ugly.

The Trevor Project & LGTBQ Legislation with Casey Pick, ESQ, Senior Fellow for Advocacy & Government Affairs at The Trevor Project Jun 30, 2021

Show notes

This episode covers so much ground that its title is almost two full lines long. Is that a record? We’re not sure. But, what we are sure of, is that this episode gives you the 411 on the amazing work done and that is in motion for the Trevor Project. What we’re also sure of is that our guest, Casey Pick, ESQ, Senior Fellow for Advocacy & Government Affairs at The Trevor Project, provides a comprehensive look at the issues facing the LGBTQ community and how it connects to not just the organization’s work, but to legislation. Covering recent court cases (Fulton v. City of Philadelphia) to the LGBT Data Inclusion Act, and more, this episode (like all) is a can’t miss.

Special Episode!! All About Juneteenth with Ms. Opal Lee, Grandmother of Juneteenth Jun 18, 2021

Show notes

This is a special edition of Girl and the Gov, The Podcast and it’s special not just because its a two episode week, but because we are beyond honored to share that our guest is none other than Ms. Opal Lee, the Grandmother of Juneteenth. To say that we aren’t still star struck is an understatement, but Ms. Opal Lee is one serious badass lady, counting 94 years on this planet and many in activism. Her focus, as one may guess from her moniker, is to have Juneteenth recognized in law as a federal holiday. Her work, which we discussed, is no short of amazing, and we were blown away to learn that it came to fruition moments before this exact interview, with the Senate passing the legislation unanimously. You won’t want to miss this important discussion and the joy we shared during this momentous occasion.

Corporate Interests & California Politics Unveiled with Founder of Project Super Bloom, Eric Warmoth Jun 16, 2021

Show notes

We’re surfing over to California for this episode, where we speak with the founder of Project Super Bloom, Eric Warmoth about the smoke and mirrors politics going on in the Golden State. To the surprise of many, politics in California at the state level isn’t what it seems to be from afar -- blue. Due to the ability for corporations to donate directly to political campaigns, the ways in which politics work in the state are a whole different beast than you may think. In our conversation, we get the TEA on this and what Project Super Bloom aims to do to change the status quo.

The Constitution Explained with Ben Sheehan, Author of OMG WTF DOES THE CONSTITUTION ACTUALLY SAY? Jun 09, 2021

Show notes

Have you ever thought to yourself WTF is actually inside the Constitution? Have you ever thought, but like where’s the Bill of Rights at? If either of these two questions have ever popped into your head, this episode is for you. We had the privilege of chatting with Ben Sheehan, Author of OMG WTF DOES THE CONSTITUTION ACTUALLY SAY?, on these two questions and more -- like those pesky amendments, how they’re ratified, and what ratifying even means in the first place. Humor is top of mind in this episode (which makes sense given Ben’s experience as an award-winning producer at Funny or Die), with at least one of us attempting to use an olde English accent. Take a listen to see which of the three of us it was.

Show notes

The sun is rising on a new episode, which is perfect because this one sheds (sun)light on the Sunrise Movement. A dip back into the world of climate activism and climate policy, this episode takes us through an informative and can’t-miss conversation with the Co-Founder of the Sunrise Movement. Will Lawrence. From interesting tactics like ‘Wide Awakes’ (this was new to us) to politicians that are making their mark in this realm (Senator Markey you make an appearance), we cover new territory.

Getting Out the Vote with Lala Wu, Executive Director and Co-Founder of Sister District May 26, 2021

Show notes

Every season is election season, which is why we tapped Lala Wu, Executive Director and Co-Founder of Sister District to give us the 411 on how to get out the vote. Providing a close look at the mechanisms we commonly hear about like phone banking, text banking, and more, our conversation with Lala offers more than just definitions, but an understanding of how these processes are actually put to work by organizations like Sister District. Speaking of Sister District, in this episode we also discuss the organization’s mission and thoughtful strategy used for flipping seats in state legislatures from red to blue.
