Description

Today’s pod is a Candid Conversation with acclaimed writer Julie Kohler, host of award winning White Picket Fence podcast which focuses on how suburban women have become some of the most contested political actors. Over three seasons, the podcast has examined the social disruptions that have pushed a political realignment among women. I’m having Julie on today to discuss how  motherhood itself is being weaponized for political gain. In the name of “protecting children” and “parental rights” this particular group has been manipulated to advance the darkest of political agendas. You can see the efforts of this work on our school boards, with school choice, anti-CRT laws and anti-LGBTQ laws. It’s the ugly underbelly of what should be a positive group looking out for what’s best for children but who are, in reality, using their seemingly innocent identity to truly undermine people’s rights.

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
