Episode 96: See You on the Ballot

Episode 96: See You on the Ballot

Have you ever considered running for office? Do you know a friend who should? In the first of a two-part special, we're talking about building the infrastructure to encourage women to enter all sorts of races: Congress, yes, but also your city council or school board. We hear from Stephanie Schriock of EMILYs List about the 10k+ women (!) who have expressed interest in running since the 2016 election. And from Amanda Litman of Run for Something, which encourages young people to get involved in politics. Plus, Ann & Amina weigh in on their own political ambitions. Announcements: our shop is still open for pre-orders and there are tickets on sale for our live show in Philly and YES, FINALLY, we're coming to Brooklyn.
