53:59Now PlayingThe election is only 4 weeks away now (!!!!) which means that we have less than 26 days to have some important conversations with the people in our lives. There are so many things to talk about: abortion access, gun violence, voting rights, the economy, immigration… and, as we discuss this week on the pod, the Supreme Court.
Since the Dobbs decision overturned Roe vs Wade, the Supreme Court has been on all of our minds. But the truth is, Dobbs is just one of many recent rulings that have changed our democracy for the worse.
We’re joined today by Leah Litman and Melissa Murray, two of the hosts of the podcast Strict Scrutiny. () Every week they break down the news out of the Supreme Court and we were so pleased to hear their expert opinions on everything from term limits and court reform to what happens if Trump contests the results of the election. (The short answer? We need to win so decisively that a Harris/Walz victory is “litigation proof.”)
Before that interview, we’re also joined by local Troublemaker Zarina Syed. Born and raised in the swing state of Pennsylvania, she recently started a group called Fearless Females for Democracy () . Zarina shares what she’s been hearing from women on the ground and how it’s felt as a secondgeneration immigrant to witness the rhetoric of the Republican Party start to take hold in her town.
Like Leah and Melissa, Zarina is cautiously optimistic. Democracy is a long-term project and there are no quick fixes, but if we keep sharing our stories and values with the people we know, we can keep moving forward. As VP Harris says, we’re not going back!
In our chat with Zarina, she mentioned how an “Abortion Rights Barbie” tshirt has proven to be a great icebreaker when she’s out knocking doors. Red Wine & Blue just updated our own online shop () with some cute new shirts (and tote bags, and stickers, and buttons) so be sure to check it out now for your own icebreakers for democracy!
