Majority 54

This week, Jason and Ravi lay out Majority 54’s plans for the upcoming year - focusing on gaining momentum before the 2022 midterms and building long-lasting power. They talk about the importance of plugging in to down-ballot races, how to stay optimistic in the face of bad news, and how a rural teacher in Kentucky can educate students about election fraud.

Plus, to kick off the new segment Road to the Midterms, Jason and Ravi sit down with Ben Wikler, the chair of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin. They discuss the key electoral races in Wisconsin that could change the course of electoral history - and how you can plug in to help.

Where does democracy stand a year after the Capitol insurrection? Jason, Ravi and Majority 54 producer Grace Lynch reflect on this perilous period in American politics. They challenge what accountability would look like for those implicated in the riot and how we can all 'grab an oar' at this critical time.  Plus, the ever-evolving state of covid, questions of courage and glimmers of hope for 2022.

To close out the year, Jason wants to bring your attention to an issue that's faded from the news cycle. The evacuation of Afghan civilians who aided U.S. forces continues, largely spearheaded by the efforts of private citizens. One of those leading the charge is Shawn VanDiver, the founder of the Afgan Evac Coalition. Shawn and Jason shed light on what happened behind the scenes during the final two weeks of August and where the evacuation effort is today.
