  • Episode 267: We Won’t Despair
    Dec 10 2024
    In this episode, L. Joy emphasizes the importance of understanding who holds power at all levels of government, particularly as key caucuses, coalitions, and federal appointments shape policies. For the Do Now, she reminds us that despair is not a strategy and calls for focused, strategic advocacy tailored to critical issues like housing, equity, and justice. The episode transitions to a conversation with Jessica Mackler, president of Emily’s List, at the front of the class, highlighting recent wins for pro-choice women in politics, including the historic milestone of two Black women serving in the U.S. Senate simultaneously.

    In this episode L. Joy highlights the value of local engagement by explaining the concept of "state engagement tables," where coalitions work together on various issues at the state level, supporting each other’s priorities year round. To break down this concept and share their experiences, she brings Tamieka Atkins, Executive Director of ProGeorgia, Brad Christian-Sallis, Director of Power Building at the Nebraska Table and James Hayes, Co-Director of Ohio Voice to the front of the class.

  • Episode 265: Post Election Resilience
    Nov 13 2024
    The outcome of the 2024 election has left so many of us feeling a mix of emotions, from disappointment to determination, but as L. Joy always says, “civics doesn’t begin and end of Election Day”. In this week’s episode L. Joy offers a simple reassurance: these feelings are natural, but they need not define us. One election does not determine our commitment to a more equitable society. This is an opportunity for resilience and a renewed focus on what truly matters.
