It's giving chaos, it's giving rage, it's giving todas las putaderas imaginables. The Chicas Politicas let it all out on this November 6, the day after the 2024 Presidential election.

We talk about the latino vote, the fuc&ery that we are in now, and what happens next. No excuses. We are done being nice. Calling it out. Try me, bro. We will recover from this, but this is how we grieve. Bye.

Nervous about the election? We'll help you get through the day! Listen in to this special "live" episode from Cal Poly's HSI Symposium: ¡Adelante!

Cal Poly, a major university in the California Central Coast, is on a journey to become a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI). What is that, what does it mean? Why? How's it going? Rita and Yessenia got to mingle with staff and students to learn more. ¡Vamos, adelante!

In this episode we talk with Chica Politica Luz Reyes-Martín, Vice President of Advocacy and Engagement at Planned Parenthood California Central Coast AND, yes, AND City Council member for the City of Goleta. Luz is a mom, leader and fierce reproductive rights advocate! Listen to our conversation to get inspired by Luz as we break down the shame around abortions, and body autonomy.

Love what you hear? Come support Luz and Planned Parenthood for their 2024 Politics, Sex & Cocktails happening Thursday, October 10, 2024 @ 6:00 PM at the MOXI, The Wolf Museum of Exploration + Innovation, in Santa Barbara. Tickets at: ppccaf.org

What a treat! We got to talk with one of the most qualified candidates in our local ballot, Erica Flores Baltodano. Erica is a Chica Politica through and through, and is running for school board. We talked about what it means to be a school trustee, emphasis on the TRUST part, her journey as a latina attorney, her impactful career, biases, disparities, representation, woof! What a convo!

We have a very special episode!! Yessenia and Rita recap on their favorite moments from the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, and then (drums!!) Ana Rosa Rizo-Centino from ¡Que Madre! joins Rita to share her thoughts on the current political landscape. ¡Eso!

Yay! You are doing voter outreach to the hispanic community!! Strap down, we are about to take you into a journey you didn't ask for :D What to keep in mind when doing outreach, and what NOT to do. We have the receipts.

Yes, we're all in, but let's also have a reality check, the systems of oppression are still here! To the window!! To the walz!! Catch up time with Chicas Politicas.

We are not sugar coat it and we're giving it to you straight. It's July, babes. We have to get real.

We welcome Pride month at Chicas Politicas, celebrate Mexico's first female president. The Chicas give a shoutout to amazing local women who just announced their running for office this week: Erica Stewart, Kris Beal, and Kassi Dee!

Of course, we spent a minute or two on the 34 felony counts of 45 and tried so hard to end the episode on a happy note :)

We are back and kicking! We are starting a new season of Chicas Politicas. Catch up with us in this short and sweet episode. Learn how to show your dissatisfaction this upcoming November election, and hear Rita and Yessenia talk about what we have gained so far from being involved in politics as latinas.
