Jana and Brian welcome MN Lt. Governor Peggy Flanagan for a convo on organizing in scary times and why she’s running for U.S. Senate! They dig into health care for all, raising the federal minimum wage, national paid family & medical leave, and saying no to corporate PAC money. Plus, concrete ways listeners can plug in (letters, protests, mutual aid, running for local office, text banking). Caller asks how to build power with neighbors amid fear and misinformation. Peggy’s answer is a masterclass in truth-telling, safety, and doing “the next good thing.” If you want an Auntie in the Senate, support and amplify at peggyflanagan.com.
