Description

Today’s pod is a Candid Conversation with the Mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass. On day one the newly elected mayor declared a State of Emergency in LA  to deal with the crisis of the unhoused, and 100 days in she’s tackling the problem with the urgency it deserves, and the heart and humility of a new kind of leader. So far the program, which is aligning every level of government, is truly making a difference, and if the second biggest city in America can pull it off, these are programs that can be rolled out across the country. Successful policies are contagious. Whether those are negative policies like abortion bans or trans bans, or positive programs like dealing with homelessness or expanded school lunch programs, once they’re working they can spread. That’s why it’s essential we put the right leaders, with the right values, in positions of power.

American Democracy is not promised to us and, with all the forces working against it, saving it will take a level of work most people aren’t ready for. The Politics Girl Podcast is here to give people a reason to care and a reason to fight. Our goal is to inspire. To instill in people a true understanding of what this country COULD be, if the right people were fighting for it, and what it WILL be if they don’t. It’s a political podcast yes, but more than that, it’s a podcast about America’s potential, where one passionate, and slightly mouthy, immigrant attempts to motivate the country to become what it promised to be but, so far, has yet to become. You’ll leave more knowledgeable, more engaged, and more sure that you, personally, can make a difference to the future of American democracy. Everyone’s got a little time for that right? Subscribe for new episodes every Tuesday. We’re in a fight for our country. We sure as hell better know what we’re fighting for. xo
