How do we help our kids make sense of the attacks on our democracy? Can the work of resisting racism and defending democracy be something we can do side by side with our kids? Andrea Hildebran Smith talks with author and family therapist Rebecca Thompson Hitt about making sure we show our kids how to move through trauma to action.

The ResistanceMom podcast is the story of Americans defending and rebuilding democracy today, for our own sakes and for our kids.  Our story far eclipses the perfect storm of Russians, billionaires and racists that lifted a mobster and traitor into the White House in 2016.   

Millions of us have now become activists: marching, knocking on doors, running for office, and teaching our kids to never look away from the atrocity of racism.  We are each finding our own paths to stand as a community in defense of our democratic system and the values to which we aspire.

Host Andrea Hildebran Smith talks with leaders from every angle of the resistance about how to make an impact that will last, the fight to end gun violence, movements for sustainable economies, defending America's immigrants, and confronting white supremacy.  The show does a deep dive into new frameworks for protecting speech and civil rights online.  We have a particular focus on our responsibilities to the next generation: engaging youth activists, and figuring our how to at once protect and prepare kids for the challenges they are about to inherit.  

This work is not easy and the news is often devastating, but there are victories to celebrate all around us as well.  We have barely scratched the surface of the impact we can make as voters, elected officials, advocates and parents.  

Listen to the podcast and be a part of the community that is keeping democracy real in America.
