    Show notes

    What will Americans do to stop the confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett? What CAN we do?

She's also the Co-Executive Director at the Center for Popular Democracy, and she has some ideas on what we can do to protect the confirmation process, especially with the Affordable Care Act hearing coming up on November 10th.

    #WinWithBlackWomen featuring Delegate Lashrecse D. Aird Oct 02, 2020
    Show notes

    Delegate Lashrecse D. Aird’s mother was only 16 years old when she was born, and despite her hard work and relentless efforts, they struggled to make ends meet throughout Delegate Aird’s adolescence. But no politicians came to help, no policies were created to alleviate their pain, so she decided to get into politics and be the change she wanted to see. In today’s episode, we talk about her career as the youngest woman ever elected to the Virginia House of Delegates, representing the 63rd District, and the type of work she’s now doing in the state to fight for criminal justice reform, including getting Breonna’s Law passed. She also shares why she feels confident in Sen. Harris’ VP nom and points out the hypocrisy in criticizing the senator’s record.

    Why Is Amy Coney Barrett Dangerous to Americans? Joan McCarter of DailyKos Explains Oct 01, 2020
    Show notes

    Why is the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court dangerous? Joan McCarter of DailyKos explains how her confirmation would give Trump two seasoned election judges on his side--both of which were involved in Bush v. Gore in 2000. BUT, will Republicans get cold feet in backing the nomination? Joan says maybe, and she gets into all that, plus what our chances are looking like for winning the senate, Trump's taxes, and more.

    It's a Razor Thin Race Between State Sen. Joyce Elliott and Trump Sycophant Rep. French Hill Sep 28, 2020
    Show notes

    THROWBACK EPISODE! Arkansas State Senator Joyce Elliott is running to represent the state's 2nd congressional district, and she's currently within one point of the Republican incumbent. If she wins, she will be the first Black person to be elected to congress from the state. But this isn't the first historic move Senator Elliott has made in her career OR her personal life. In today's episode, she digs in to tell us her personal backstory that has informed her leadership, as she integrated her school first as a young student, and again when she became an educator. She understands the struggles of the middle and working class, having spent time living off Beanie Weenies to stretch a dollar, which is a far-cry from that of her bankrolled opponent who "does a good job looking out for the wealthy." Get to know this incredible leader and how she wants to upgrade Arkansas' healthcare, education, and infrastructure. (Original air date: 9/16/20).
