  • Summary

  • American Democracy is not promised to us and, with all the forces working against it, saving it will take a level of work most people aren’t ready for. The Politics Girl Podcast is here to give people a reason to care and a reason to fight. Our goal is to inspire. To instill in people a true understanding of what this country COULD be, if the right people were fighting for it, and what it WILL be if they don’t. It’s a political podcast yes, but more than that, it’s a podcast about America’s potential, where one passionate, and slightly mouthy, immigrant attempts to motivate the country to become what it promised to be but, so far, has yet to become. You’ll leave more knowledgeable, more engaged, and more sure that you, personally, can make a difference to the future of American democracy. Everyone’s got a little time for that right? Subscribe for new episodes every Tuesday. We’re in a fight for our country. We sure as hell better know what we’re fighting for. xo

  • Christian Jesus v. Trump Jesus: A Conversation with the New Evangelicals’ Tim Whitaker

    Christian Jesus v. Trump Jesus: A Conversation with the New Evangelicals’ Tim Whitaker
    Jun 4 2024
    Christian Nationalism is a giant threat to our country. A danger to women, to minorities, to the marginalized and to democracy itself. While these white, Christian nationalists believe they’re saving the country from heathenism, what they’re really offering is a theocracy of top down control with themselves at the top. We must see this threat for what it is, and that starts with understanding. Tim Whitaker is the founder of the New Evangelicals, an inclusive, Jesus-centered community that holds space for those marginalized by the evangelical church and advocates for systemic change. Raised deep in the evangelical world – Tim had a crisis of faith watching his church leaders embrace a man who was so antithetical to what he had been taught to believe. He now holds the toxic churches and their leaders accountable, while still offering a home of faith to his fellow Christians. Please join us for this incredibly engaging conversation.

  • Build Your Own Army: A Conversation with the States Project’s Melissa Walker

    Build Your Own Army: A Conversation with the States Project’s Melissa Walker
    May 28 2024
    Wanna win back democracy? Start with the states. The federal government is clearly essential, and to save our nation the Democrats must win the Presidency, House and Senate in ’24, but we can’t stop there. So many of the terrible laws we’re seeing around the country come directly from Republican state legislatures. People like to blame the president when things don’t go their way, but so much of what affects our daily lives is decided in state houses. Which is why joining the State’s Project is one of the most effective ways to fight back. They’ve done the preparation. You just gather your people and start stacking up the wins. It’s not just effective. It’s fun. It’s FUN to WIN. As always, if you find worth in what we do, please consider SUBSCRIBING to PoliticsGirl Premium.

  • Women are Furious: A Conversation with the new President of Emily’s List Jessica Mackler

    Women are Furious: A Conversation with the new President of Emily’s List Jessica Mackler
    May 21 2024
    Fixing the crisis America is in is hard, but it’s also simple. We can’t stop talking about reproductive rights because it’s not just about stripping women of the right to manage their own lives and bodies, it’s about the slippery slope we find ourselves on if we accept that government can just take our essential human rights. At the end of the day, it’s not just about abortion, it’s about precedent. If they can take this freedom, what’s next? Emily’s List is out here fighting back, which is why I’m pleased to speak to known strategist and fighter Jessica Mackler. Emily’s List isn’t just about winning elections at every level, but to supporting those winners once they’re in office.Government is simply better when all voices are at the table. It took almost 50 years for them to strip us of our rights. If we vote correctly, we can get them back in two.
