  • From What's the Plan?: How Trump Is Using Fear to Win

    From What's the Plan?: How Trump Is Using Fear to Win
    Oct 12 2026
    We're sharing a special episode from What's the Plan?, a new podcast from Lemonada Media and Indivisible, hosted by Leah Greenberg and Ezra Levin! With the No Kings event coming up on October 17, we wanted to bring this timely conversation directly to your feed. Leah and Ezra break down what's happening in politics right now, what it means for the weeks ahead, and why this moment matters. The Trump regime is trying to fearmonger its way to an electoral win. Our challenge is to take the threat seriously and act with confidence, without handing the regime power it doesn’t have or feeding the cynicism that demotivates our side. In this episode, Leah and Ezra talk about how the regime is ramping up its fear tactics, why that’s actually a sign of weakness, and what our strongest response looks like: No Kings, early voting, election defense, and community mobilization. We’re a little more than a week out from No Kings on October 17, the biggest effort against election sabotage in American history. We’ve all got work to do, and we’re gonna talk about how we all have a role in doing it! To learn more and get involved with Indivisible, visit indivisible.org/wtp Learn more about your ad choices.

    Defending Democracy Boldy and Defiantly

    Across the country, reproductive freedom is popular – 63 percent of Americans say abortion should be legal in all or most cases. So why don’t our laws reflect the will of the people? As the Executive Director of Unite for Reproductive & Gender Equity (URGE), Kimberly Inez McGuire breaks down how opponents of abortion access have targeted voting rights and democracy to advance their agenda – and how we can all fight back at the polls and beyond.

  • Why State Supreme Courts Matter

    Why State Supreme Courts Matter
    Oct 3 2024
    State Supreme Courts are crucial to abortion rights, yet most people have no idea what these courts do. Or that in many states we actually vote for these judges. Thirty-three states will have supreme court seats on the ballot this November. Alicia Bannon of State Court Report tells us why these courts matter to abortion rights and how to be better informed going to the ballot box. We’ll also zoom in on Texas, where the Find Out PAC is trying to unseat three Republican justices on the Texas Supreme Court. Read coverage on State Supreme Courts at statecourtreport.org and learn more about the 2024 Election at statecourtreport.org/election-2024. Another great resource is Bolts’ Guide to the 2024 Supreme Court Elections. Learn more about the Find Out PAC at findoutpac.com.

Find out who your state legislators are at stateinnovation.org. To take action with Sister District, go to sisterdistrict.com.

    Reversing Florida’s 6-week Abortion Ban
    Sep 19 2024
    In May 2024, a six-week abortion ban went into effect in Florida, dramatically limiting access for women across the South. While Floridians are living with this new reality, they’re also gearing up to change it. Gloria talks with Lauren Brenzel, campaign director for Floridians Protecting Freedom / Yes on 4, who is fighting for the November ballot measure that would protect abortion access in the state constitution and reverse the 6-week ban. Learn more about Florida’s Amendment 4 ballot initiative at floridiansprotectingfreedom.com.

    What’s At Stake in Arizona
    Sep 12 2024
    We start Season 2 of The Defenders in Arizona, where abortion rights have been in turmoil since the overturn of Roe. Now, a citizen-led effort is trying to enshrine abortion rights in the state constitution through a ballot measure. November’s election may not only change the fate of abortion in this crucial swing state; it could also flip the state legislature and impact control of the U.S. Senate and the fate of the White House.
