On today’s episode, Rachel Vindman, Amanda Weinstein, and Jasmine Clark continue to process their feelings about last week’s Roe v Wade news. Although it can be easy to stay in a place of anger and sadness, we need to turn those feelings into action - and win at the midterms in November! The only way we can keep right-wing extremists from taking away our rights is by voting them out. And the best way to do that is to have honest conversations with the people in our own networks.Katie Paris joins the pod to tell everyone about the Great Troublemaker Turnout, Red Wine & Blue’s new relational voter turnout program. Katie praises all the incredible women in our Facebook community SWEEP who have been sharing their personal abortion stories; it can be uncomfortable or even challenging at times, but the best way to change minds is to speak honestly and from the heart. After that, Rachel sits down with Ravi Gupta and Jason Kander, the hosts of the podcast Majority 54. Their pod is all about how to talk to the people in our lives who have different political views than us– that uncle, that cousin, that parent who might have voted for Trump. How can we reach them and change their mind? They also discuss Jason’s new book, Invisible Storm, which is about running for office, PTSD, marriage, and more.Finally, Rachel, Amanda and Jasmine raise a glass to Mother’s Day - to moms of all types, to being treated to a nice dinner, and to taking a little time to recover from the news - in this week’s “Toast to Joy.”If you’re ready to join the Great Troublemaker Turnout, please sign up here!
