We’re finally here… the last full episode of the podcast before the midterm elections! All year, we’ve been talking about what’s at stake in this election: antisemitism and racism, abortion rights, book bans, guns, election denial, and extremism in a million different forms. Now is the moment we’ve been working for, so let’s get everyone we know out to vote.This week, Amanda got the chance to talk to Connie Schultz about why this election is so important… and at the same time, how we can take care of our mental health. Elections are stressful, and daily prognostications from dubious pollsters aren’t helping matters. Amanda and Connie had an amazing chat about what they’ve been hearing from women coming into this election and what they’re doing to stay calm in these last few crucial days. If you’ve been as anxious about the midterms as we are, we hope this interview makes you feel a little better.Finally, Amanda, Jasmine and Rachel raise a glass to making a difference, kindness, and connecting with our neighbors in this episode’s “Toast to Joy.”Want to save reproductive rights and help women in need at the same time? Then check out RWB Votes! If you live in (or have friends in) Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, or North Carolina, for every 10 friends you talk to about voting, we’ll donate $50 to an abortion fund in your state.
