Stacey Abrams…what can I say? My favorite quote of hers is “hopes and dreams without a plan are just wishes” and particularly in 2025 she just is honest about her truth and keeps going, keeps planning and adjusting and I love listening because she believes in the power of the people and shares her plan so I can get my consciousness raised and keep going head up and strong hearted.
What a fantastic episode. Seriously, I learned so much. And I’m feeling inspired and energized to keep going again. Grateful to know there are leaders and organizers who are intellectually honest, are trying different tactics, acknowledge the risks they’re taking and are keeping the pedal to the metal. So grateful.
Can you do a podcast just on Maurice Mitchell’s discussion of Black Politics as a model that successfully integrates Conservative viewpoints?
I appreciate Assembly Required for taking on difficult topics in a way that is both rational and human. Stacey brings both heart and mind to each topic.
I especially value the weekly suggestions for ways to act on the information provided. I share my favorite episodes with fellow activists and friends whom I hope to activate.
Keep up the great work!
I just listened to the excellent episode ‘Gaza Under Siege: Netanyahu’s Use of Violence to Maintain Power’ and was pleasantly surprised by it. In my ‘radical left’ worldview bubble in Europe, it can appear as if the US is a lost cause. The voices of reason across the world are increasingly hard to find. I always knew Stacey Abrams was one of the good ones. I am relieved this is not only the case when it concerns American politics. The interview with both Rula Jebreal and Chris Van Hollen was not... more
