Mothers of Massive Resistance in Minneapolis, Stacy Abrams, Getting Women to Run for Office, Closing the Wage Gap

02/02/26
On the radio show this week we dive into the "Mothers of Massive Resistance" in Minneapolis, the impact of the ICE surge on local residents, and the on-the-ground organizing and mutual aid efforts. We also hear about the need for more women to run for office and the importance of political parity. Then we cover the importance of resilience, action, and rebuilding trust in democracy in 2026 with award-winning author and national leader Stacey Abrams. After that, we close the show discussing the high number of women being pushed out of the labor force; how the wage gap is unfairly widening with Black women experiencing a disproportionately negative impact; and what solutions are possible.

Slash Billionaire Greed, Not Our Child Care!

01/30/26
Instead of ripping away safety nets for kids and families, we can equitably tax the very wealthy and create new, progressive revenue for our state that will balance our state budget for years to come. Navigating budget shortfalls is a hefty task—but the solution isn’t to balance the budget on the backs of children and families. We have other options available to us, and the scale of the challenges facing Washington families demands that our Governor and state legislature utilize every tool we have to protect child care and early learning investments.

Resources to Fuel Your Advocacy

01/28/26
I want to be honest about something: advocacy can be scary. Calling a legislator. Showing up to a hearing. Hosting an accountability event. Even clicking a link that says “toolkit” can make your stomach tighten a little. It can feel intimidating, bureaucratic, or like something meant for other...

Tell Congress: Reject More Funding for ICE and Restore Family Health Care Programs

01/27/26
Following the tragic federal enforcement deaths of Alex Pretti and Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis, the U.S. Senate is preparing to vote on a DHS appropriations bill that would pour billions more into ICE and Border Patrol without oversight.
