Girl and The Gov, The Podcast

SF is in the air and on the airwaves this episode, because we go all-in on the politics of Maddie’s neck of the woods. A conversation that covers a ton of ground and provides an insightful look at SF and even CA as a whole’s politics, this episode features an interview with the one, the only, the amazing Honey Mahogany. Not only is Honey the Chair of SF Democrats, but Honey is also running for District 6 Supervisor, which is a HUGE role. No, like, the way in which we learned so much about how this role operates is next level. We also got into how Democratic clubs and organizations like the SF Democrats work (and how to get involved with them) and what their role is. And, as this is a classic all the things episode, we get into Honey’s POV on the SF housing crisis and how it can be remedied. And to cap it all off with something that truly a slay, we talk about Honey’s role in founding SF’s Transgender District, the amazing programs available through it, and what the district’s founding celebrates.

Basically top stories has a new home, making a move from the backend of our weekly interviews to its very own weekly special. You can expect our run throughs every Tuesday covering a few (not all) of the top stories we have our eyes on. This week’s round up of events include:

Money, money, moneyyyyyyy! That is what this episode is all about – specifically dark money in politics. You know, that shady, sus thing that seems to have a way of controlling what policies make it across the finish line. To get the rundown on what dark money is and how we can say toodle-loo to it, we brought on a Congressman who has been making a name for himself as a leader on campaign finance reform –  Congressman Dean Phillips of Minnesota’s third district. In convo, he gives us more than chump change on why dark money is so prevalent, how it’s used, and the legislation that’s needed to fix this issue. For a glimpse ahead, we talk about the DISCLOSE Act, Honest Ads Act, Get Foreign Money Out of Elections Act, AND a select committee of note –  the US House Select Committee on the Modernization of Congress.

If our partnership posts on @girlandthegov didn’t give you a clue into who we have on the podcast this week, we highly recommend popping on over there and giving our posts with @gethepov a like, a save, and a share. Now that we’ve gotten that checked off the list, let’s get into the deats of the eppy. We got to chat with Kirti Patel, MD & Malia Funk, Co-Founders of The POV and get into all-things birth control, emergency contraceptives, abortions, and healthcare for people with uteruses. We run through all the FAQs on different types of BC, misconceptions around this sphere of healthcare, and so much more. This eppy is basi if you went to the gyno with your besties and asked all the q’s you wanted to ask and have been too scared to ask (we’ve been there).

PS huge shout out to our listeners for the great audience q’s!

To say that we had fun recording this episode is the understatement of the year. And why is that? Because Vermont’s lone Congressman Peter Welch is an absolute hoot – oh, and also a candidate for the Senate. Our conversation touches on the experience of being a lone representative of a state (one that breeds political powerhouses BTW) and his decision to make the switch from Congress to Senate. We also tapped him for the deats on key committees, like the House Committee on Energy and Commerce and the House Committee on Oversight and Reform. Importantly, VERY importantly, we got into the tea on these, like what happens if you end up on a committee you absolutely hate or working with your literal arch nemesis. Congressman Welch gives POV and we gave him the name of what we call Mitch McConnell – for better or worse.

Our interview episode is host to an amazing guest this week – Dr. Nneka Jones Tapia, Managing Director of Justice Initiatives at Chicago Beyond. Dr. Jones Tapia provides a lens on incarceration and its impact inside and outside of prison walls. From her work with the system and as a psychologist she helps paint the picture of what incarceration does to the people incarcerated, their families, their communities, and other stakeholders. In our conversation, she also provides insights on how to change the system through her work at Chicago Beyond, and create systems-level change. We also chat terms, from the difference between jail and prison, to the prison pipeline to collective trauma, and more.

It’s our 100th episode and as Obama would say, it’s a BFD. It’s a BFD not just because we’ve made it to the 1-0-0, BUT because we have a special double header episode with two kickass, badass, politicos. The episode is focused on ballot measures, specifically ballot measures as they relate to reproductive rights. Our interviews touch on the various processes per state on jumpstarting a ballot measure, what the journeys look like for getting them on the ballot, direct democracy, petitioning, and so much more. Basically, welcome to ballot measure 101. Oh, and the amazing guests?? Fine, we’ll spill – we’re joined by Kelly Hall, Executive Director of the Fairness Project who gives all the details on Michigan’s repro rights ballot measure, and Amy Fitch Heacock, of Arizonans for Reproductive Freedom who shares the 411 on AZ’s battle for a ballot measure and what’s ahead in the fight for 2024.

We’re grateful for these convos and we’re grateful for our listeners. Cheers to episode 100 and to 100 more :) We love you guys!

After a brutal last session with SCOTUS, there were sighs of exasperation and many a discussion about how the Court got to place it’s at. In the same vein, there were many discussions about possible SCOTUS reforms, i.e. how to change the court so that it once again works for the people and not for a supercharged, superfunded majority. We hosted one of those conversations with Gabe Roth, Executive Director of Fix the Court, who focuses on – you guessed it – how to reform the court via policy. In our chat, we get into possible solutions like term limits, and discuss big loopholes surrounding media and ethics when it relates to how the court operates. We also talk about the talking point meets policy suggestion that is expanding the Court – the good, the bad, and ugly with it. If you’re curious about how to fix SCOTUS, this episode is going to fit the bill.

At this point, we’ve heard the word inflation, on average, 10 million times per day since this spring. It’s the word of (every) day, the topic of the moment, and perhaps the campaign weapon of choice for Republicans going into the midterms. And for that reason, and perhaps 10 million more, it’s pretty key to be tuned into what inflation actually is, what causes it, what reduces it, what people (politicians included) can do or not do about it, and so on. Since we’re not math girls (we wish we were but alas we can’t win ‘em all), we brought in our go-to econ expert, CNBC Contributor and Founder at New Street Advisors, Delano Saporu to answer all of our q’s – and yours too! Many an audience q was answered and we love to see it.

If you’ve heard of Ken Russell’s campaign for Congress, it might be because you’re deep in FL politics, but more likely than not it’s because of the TikTok stardom he has come into over the last year. The TikTok talent knows a thing about politics (hello, currently is a Miami City Commissioner), and how to meet people (voters) where they are (sound familiar), which is social media. His TikTok is a master class on how to show authenticity and transparency for candidates up and down the ballot, and we talk about why this is still being slept on by some of the major dem orgs. We also talk about the inner workings there (cough cough the flip flopping he experienced), the tea around Miami politics, and the impetus for his political career in the first place.

Another day, another mysterious elected position explained! In this episode, we cover lieutenant governors, a role that not all states have, that differs in role per state, and makes us more curious than George. To answer all of our q’s, we brought the expert in – Lt. Governor of Vermont, Molly Gray – who got us squared away with answers galore. Butttt, there’s more, because Molly is also running for Vermont’s one Congressional Seat (yep, you heard that right, the Green Mt. State only has one seat) and we get into the issues she’s running on and what she wants to make happen in Congress.

There is something in the water in Michigan, because the executive branch is home to THREE absolute powerhouse women in politics, one of which is Secretary of State, Jocelyn Benson. At the forefront of protecting election integrity and democracy in 2020 and onward, Secretary of State Benson truly understands the importance of this position. In our interview with her, we walk through what this vital role does, which states have them, and the various ways they work with others in government – hint: there’s even a group chat. We get into the role, we get into her reelection campaign, and we get into the tea.

Honored, thrilled, over the moon, and beyond excited are a few of the phrases we’d use to describe how we felt going into this interview and how we feel releasing it. We had the pleasure of sitting down virtually with the incredible Monica Simpson, who is the Executive Director of SisterSong. In our conversation, we chatted about SisterSong, the work they do as a coalition, and two key topics – reproductive justice and birth justice. Through our conversation we talk about what each is, how they intersect, and how these movements not only came about but continue to be relevant (even more so) in a post-Roe world. We also discuss the overwhelmingly disproportionate impact that the overturning of Roe has on BIPOC people, and the long ignored issue of access (just because something’s legal, doesn’t mean all people have access to it).

We’re back with Ben, Ben Sheehan to be exact, for an episode on the case that has us politicos at the edge of seats – Moore v. Harper. A case that calls upon a once fringe theory, Independent State Legislature Theory, we talk about whether or not SCOTUS taking this case on will take us on the express train to a constitutional crisis. Naturally, we talk about what’s likely to happen here, how this all came to be, and what we can do now (like literally NOW) to lessen the potential impact.

P.S. Go listen to our Top Stories epi released yesterday AKA the episode right before this one ;)

We talk about getting involved with campaigns until the cows come home, but we’ve often left one part out – what on earth do the many roles on campaigns actually do! And, what they are specifically. And, how they operate together. And, what the experiences are with each. Basically, the fine print. To solve this, we brought in our friend Drisana Hughes who is a well-known and accomplished campaign strategist that has brought her genius to the campaigns of India Walton, Alvin Bragg, Scott Stringer, Prez Obama’s, and many more. In our conversation, we cover the many hats that are worn in a campaign and how to get into the space overall.

One of the many layers of the abortion conversation is adoption. It’s a layer we have yet to cover – until this episode, where we were joined by Gretchen Sisson PhD, Sociologist, an expert research in the field to discuss the many nuances of when the adoption conversation crosses path with the abortion conversation. Our conversation of course covers the basics on this intersection, but also what we can expect to see in the coming months ahead (or what might just be a ‘wait and see’).

If you’re not following Katie Grossbard, I’m going to need you to kindly go follow her, rn. Okay, fine, you can finish reading this description first. She is not only a founding member of the popular voting information resource - i am a voter - but she’s quite the online activist herself. Known for her roundups of top tweets on all-things politics and her in the know shares on politics happening in the moment, Katie is in the game. It’s also one that we (very biased here) think more young people should jump into. In our conversation – where we mention Steve Kornacki over 500 times (take a sip of water every time you hear his name) – we go chat about how to use one’s own social media and platforms to get the vote out and get your friends engaged with civics, and politics today.

Katie Grossbard:

This is an interview that feels less like an interview and more like you’re overhearing a convo at the brunch table, and quite frankly, that’s the whole idea. We were joined by our amazing friend, Miss Tennessee, Tally Bevis for a chit chat on civic literacy, all-things voting, and definitely some things, political journey. Tally shares with us her civic literacy vision with her org, Vote With A Mission and the plan for her podcast, The Suffragette Series (BTW we’re going to be on an upcoming eppy so stay tuned). We get into it all, and most of all we get excited to get to the ballot box.

From the title of this episode, you might’ve gathered that this episode is a deep dive into what attorney generals do, how they’re elected, and how they work with their respective state legislatures. Okay, you might’ve just gotten the first bit on that list, but we do cover the other two as well with Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel. And importantly, we cover the AG’s current run for re-election and why AG elections are so critical to protecting our democracy. This conversation is a can’t miss and our fast five round is going to be one that has you in stitches, but you’ll have to find yourself on our TikTok @girlandthegov in the days to come to see those highlights.

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel:

As of May 26, 2022 there had been 214 mass shootings. There have been additional since that stat was compiled by Insider. It is clear that we have a gun issue in the US (last time we checked, the numbers don’t lie). This issue needs real solutions – now, not later – and there is one elected official that has stepped by to the plate. Cue, the Mayor of San Jose, CA, Sam Liccardo who has introduced innovative gun reform policies in his city. The policy requires gun owners to pay an annual fee and attestation of insurance coverage for accidental firearm-related injury or death, and the fees collected will be donated to a nonprofit focused on gun violence reduction. Our conversation gets into the policy – and a few others – and how mayors have flexibility in testing out policies.

PS if you also spotted Maddie’s TikTok on NRA spending on Senators, we answer your comment-questions!

Liccardo’s Policy:

Now if the name Shannon Williams sounds familiar in the context of Girl and the Gov®, that would be because our amazing guest for this week’s episode has also been a guest on our IG lives. This icon in activism and action is the Director of the Equal Pay Today Campaign at the ERA gave us the 411 on the wage gap, equal pay, occupational segregation, and legislation that can change the status quo. We could’ve chatted with Shannon on this for hours and hours, SO we will obviously be having her back for a part two later in the year. If you walk away with any additional q’s, send them our way and we’ll make sure to keep ‘em on deck.

**recorded prior to news breaking yesterday of another mass shooting**

ERA & Action Items:

Electing pro-choice candidates at every level is vital. This sentiment is one that EMILY’s List built on and one that we dive into in our interview with Executive Director of EMILY’s List, Emily Cain. This week’s episode takes a tour around the organization, its goals, and how it supports candidates. In conversation, we also chatted about Maine politics from the former elected official (teaser: she took office at just 24 y/o). Oh, and wait, wait, we also talk about strategies for GOTV – basically all the good stuff. 

TBH, ‘Under The Sea’ from the Little Mermaid is stuck in our heads as we write this description, rn. For one, because it’s a great tune, and secondly, because on today’s episode we’re diving into ocean pollution. We’re joined by the amazing Cassia Patel, Director of Programs at Oceanic Global who got us up to speed and more on what ocean pollution is, its intersection across other sectors of pollution, and of course, what Oceanic Global is doing to combat it. We’ll admit, we had about 5 million ‘stupid questions,’ including what microplastics are, and even single-use plastics, and we have about 5 million more. That’s the long way of saying we’re already planning a part two for later in the year so hit us up with those q’s.

Some names in politics are infamous – two of them are in the title of this episode. What they also have in common, is that they’re running for the same Congressional seat for North Carolina. District 11 to be exact. Currently held by infamous person one – Madison Cawthorn (R), the race is heating up. Yes, even in primary season (insert rant here about how vital participating in primaries is here). Infamous person two is making sure of that in her run against the Congressman, with a pragmatic approach and deep understanding of North Carolina politics. That person is Rev. Jasmine Beach-Ferrara (D). In this episode, we had the pleasure of interviewing the candidate and getting to know her and her platform. Get to know her and North Carolina politics by hitting play.

We love the tea, we love the receipts, and we absolutely love Public Wise’s Insurrection Index. If you’re curious who the players are, and oh, who may have graced the steps of the Capitol on January 6, this Index is going to have you screaming. Like, literal scream and squeal. Honestly, the deats might even put Deux Moi to shame and you know we love Deux Moi. Alas, we got the fulllll skinny on how this tool came about, why it came about, and how it’s being used from Christina Baal-Owens, Executive Director of Public Wise. This interview is one you don’t want to miss, and if it leaves you wanting more, check out our Behind the Scenes feature with Christina on @girlandthegov.

It’s far from unknown that to run a campaign in this day and age, fundraising is critical. Money, money, money, as they say is a key consideration as to whether a campaign will be successful or not. You’d think it would be based on who’s the best possible representative for a community…but alas, that’s a rant for another day. In this episode, we explore the difference between how state and federal campaigns are funded, AND importantly, how Republicans and Democrats have a very different approach to it all. To give us the good, the bad, and the ugly of the scenario, we chatted with the wonderful Melissa Walker, who is the Head of Giving Circles at The States Project.

This week’s episode features an interview with Wardah Khalid, the amazing founder of Poligon, which works to amplify Muslim voices in Congress. Do we chat about the organization’s work? Yep! Do we chat about Wardah’s journey into politics? Also, yep! And, do we chat about the issues the organization tackles through a policy lens, like Islamophobia? Yep x 3! The conversation takes on these three directions and more, so dive in and share it with a pal. 

This week the SCOTUS confirmation hearings are off to the races with the aim of confirming Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the bench. We love to see it and we’re excited to bring you an episode discussing the ongoing process and Judge Jackson’s epic/next-level qualifications. What’s a public defender? What’s a clerkship? What happens if a nominee isn’t confirmed? We get the answers to these through an interview with the one, only, and amazing Meagan Hatcher-Mays, Director of Democracy Policy at Indivisible. PS she also gives us the deats on what Indivisible does, how it was founded, and what her role looks like RN.

This week we’re joined by the big leagues, and when we mean the big leagues, we mean the Anti-Defamation League. Also known as the ADL, the organization is a leading anti-hate organization, and one founded in response to rising antisemitism. So, what is antisemitism? We get into and more with the ADL’s Director of Community Engagement, Carly Pildis. We also talk about extremist groups, the rise in hate crimes, and the importance of anti-bias training.

Florida has been hitting the news cycle BIG TIME these days. We wish we could say it was because they were having a puppy convention or something just as cute and insta-worthy, but unfortunately, the current Governor Ron DeSantis and his Republican state legislature have made sure that anything they do is FAR from cute. From the Don’t Say Gay bill to a 15-week abortion bill passed in the middle of the night, it’s safe to say we’ve had some questions as to what on earth is going on in FL. Cue our guest – Florida Congressman Charlie Crist (FL-13) who is running for Governor. Now before you okay, cool, can’t wait to hear from this elected and candidate’s position – we need you to get even more excited. Why? Because Congressman Crist was previously Florida’s Governor…as a Republican. A now Democrat, he brings a particularly interesting dialogue to our conversation on politics today in Florida and across the country.

Part one of our two-part explainer series on the war unfolding un Ukraine begins with our interview with Dr. Mai’a K. Davis Cross. The Editor of the Journal of European Integration and Professor of Political Science and International Affairs – oh, and also the author of books including European-Russian Power Relations in Turbulent Times AND The Politics of Crisis in Europe – Dr. Cross walked us through a plethora of q’s we had on the region and its related politics. Defining NATO, who can be a member, why Ukraine is not one, the rationale for Putin’s timing and invasion, European strategic alliances, deterrence politics, and more are defined and contextualized to get us all up to speed on the dynamics at play. This episode is a great starting point for understanding the players here. 

**Part two through the economics and sanctions lens will be released on Wednesday**

We’re not screaming, you’re screaming! Okay, we’re screaming too because this week’s conversation with Adrienne Bell, who is the Executive Director at Brand New Congress is motivation 101 for getting clued into the midterm elections. Like, if you’ve been putting it off or dragging your feet, Adrienne gives the 411 inspo on why this is the time to get involved and how to do that. Additionally, and importantly, we chat about the mission behind Brand New Congress and the candidates they support, including Girl and the Gov, The Podcast alum, Brittany Ramos DeBarros, Morgan Harper, and Melanie D’Arrigo, and Keeping Up With The Candidates rockstar, Stephanie Gallardo. We also obvi chat about the candidates turned elected officials they’ve supported such as AOC, Cori Bush, and Jamaal Bowman. Tune into the episode and to this election, NOW.

TW: The following episode contains conversations on spousal rape and domestic violence. This episode takes toward a topic we haven’t yet covered – the policy matters of domestic violence, spousal rape, and more. A conversation that makes you yet again scratch your head at how many laws could possibly exist (or not exist) in 2022, we discuss where policy is currently on violence against women. More specifically, through our interview with Professor Michele Dauber, Chair of Enough is Enough Project, we also learn about the initiative that Enough is Enough is working on, which is to make violence against women a voting issue. 

Fangirl alert – this episode features an interview with an activist that we look up to in all the ways. Like, we are still screaming that she came on the show. Jamira Burley, the Director of Social Impact for Adidas North America joined us this week for a conversation on corporate responsibility. Tapping into understanding what this means as a whole, what corporations are doing (or not doing) in terms of moving the social impact needle, and more, our conversation looks at the power consumers (it’s kind of like another ballot box if you will).
