Dana Castner of Choice Tracker | New Faces of Democracy Feb 19, 2025

Show notes

This episode features a conversation with Dana Castner, founder of Choice Tracker, a new and important tool in the fight for reproductive freedom. When the Supreme Court ruled in June 2022 that abortion laws must be decided by the states, that put a lot of power in the hands of our state legislators, many of whom we had never heard of, let alone knew their stances on abortion. That’s what Dana discovered and led her to start the all-volunteer group Choice Tracker just two weeks after the Dobbs decision. Nancy and Dana discuss the value in providing voters all the available information on their state representatives in one place; what actions people can take both in election cycles and off years; and why constitutional abortion protections are not enough to save us on their own. Listen to the end if you want to know how to bring Choice Tracker to your state and other ways you can help now, not just right before the next election.

Dr. Theodore R. Johnson: If We Are Brave | Village SquareCast Feb 17, 2025

Show notes

We claim to be a nation founded on an idea. But, especially in these times of civic rupture, are we even all talking about the same idea?

Contributing Washington Post opinion writer Dr. Ted Johnson joins us again to discuss his beautiful, powerful new book “If We are Brave: Essays of Black Americana.”

The program is faciliated by Dr. Nashid Madyun, Executive Director of Florida Humanities. Find the program online here.

This program is part of the series in partnership with Florida Humanities — “UNUM: Democracy Reignited,” a multi-year digital offering exploring the past, present and future of the American idea — as it exists on paper, in the hearts of our people, and as it manifests (or sometimes fails to manifest) in our lives.

Playing Defense for Democracy: Ezra Levin | Future Hindsight Feb 12, 2025

Show notes

We discuss what we can all do to say "no" to Project 2025, including getting Democrats to play hardball in local, city, and state offices, and to protect and win elections this year and in the midterms next year.

Ezra’s civic action toolkit recommendations are:

Organize in your community with like-minded Americans
Use your constituent power to influence the political calculus of your elected representative

Ezra Levin is the Co-Executive Director of Indivisible, which he co-founded with Leah Greenberg in the wake of the 2016 presidential election. He’s also the co-author of We Are Indivisible: A Blueprint for Democracy After Trump.
