  • A Great Way to Join the Resistance

    If you are exhausted by what is going on in the US and looking to fight back, be sure to listen as the extremely knowledgeable Stacey Abrams details each week what is happening and how we can resist and try to reclaim. I hate that we’re in this fight at all, but leaders like Abrams make me so proud to be a part of it. She’s a remarkable woman and this is a fantastic podcast.
