    More Moms in Office Can Change Everything: A Conversation with Liuba Grechen Shirley, Founder & CEO of Vote Mama

    In 2018, Liuba Grechen Shirley launched a historic congressional campaign to represent New York’s 2nd District in the U.S. House of Representatives—all while raising two young children under six-years-old. As her demanding campaign schedule clashed with limited access to affordable childcare, Liuba quickly realized the whole thing was untenable. So, six months into her campaign, Liuba petitioned the Federal Election Commission, making history as the first woman to receive federal approval to spend campaign funds for childcare. This experience inspired her to launch the Vote Mama Foundation, dedicated to empowering mothers to run for office. In this episode, Liuba discusses the importance of having pro-choice moms elected to office, the double standard that women candidates face, and how electing moms, up and down the ballot, benefits everyone. This episode was made possible with a grant from the MacArthur Foundation through URL Media.

    Climate Power's Massive Investment in Black Voter Engagement: A Conversation with Markeya Thomas

    Senior Advisor for Black Engagement for Climate Power, Markeya Thomas, discusses the organization's $10 Million Black Engagement program, aimed at mobilizing Black voters around climate change, in battleground states. Climate Power is focus on educating voters on the differences between the two campaigns—one which has a track record of putting forth policies that create green jobs, with a history of holding big oil companies accountable, and the other, which has primarily denied climate science, and has a track record of supporting big oil's agenda. The conversation focuses on what climate messaging motivates Black voters ahead of the November election, and how Black communities are disproportionately impacted by the climate crisis.
