In this episode, Jessy and Rebekah talk to Rebecca Pronsky – the folk singer turned singing political fundraiser. 00:00:45: Here is a New York Times article that breaks down seven different ways that Alabama has made it harder for people to vote. But also, check out Carol Anderson’s new book, One Person, No Vote: How Voter Suppression is Destroying our Democracy. She was interviewed by Trevor Noah on The Daily Show so you can find her interview there as well. 03:11: Here is a link to buy Rebecca’s album! 03:20: Here is a link to buy tickets to see Rebecca’s show, Hillary Clinton’ Song Cycle: Witness! It will be at the New York International Fringe Festival on October 13, 14, 17, 20 and 21 and at the Charm City Fringe Festival on November 8, 9, 10 and 11!06:00: Here is a photo from the magical day we met Rebecca. 07:00: Here is a link to Liuba Gretchen Shirley’s campaign website where you can donate to her campaign and read about where she stands on the issues (pro-choice, equal pay for women and POC, common sense gun reform, etc.) . She is running against Peter King who voted to repeal the Affordable Care Act, is anti-choice and supported Trump’s travel ban. 07:15: And here is Alessandra Biaggi’s website. She is for single payer health care, wants to help New York’s elderly and is pro-choice.07:40: Here is a New York Times article about the Independent Democratic Conference (IDC). This group consisted of a group of 8 rogue state senators who broke with their party and collaborated with the Republicans. We voted 6 of the 8 out in the primaries. 09:15: And finally, Zellnor Myrie! 11:30: Rebekah’s brain is made of swiss cheese. She was trying to think of John Edwards who ran in 2004 and 2008. He was John Kerry’s running mate in 2004. And the big scandal? An affair. His wife was dying of cancer at the time (she passed in 2010) and he went on trial for violating campaign contribution laws when he tried to cover up his affair. It certainly wasn’t great,
