A love letter to real organizing; the kind that involves clipboards, phone calls, and community trust, not just hashtags and photo ops. We’ll explore how to tell the difference between authentic grassroots work and performative political theater.

Grab your crystals (or your spreadsheets) — we’re manifesting. Instead of looking back, we’re starting this season by naming what we want from 2026. In this episode, we talk about what we’re hoping to see from our candidates, our political parties, and our friends and neighbors as we head into yet another year of organizing and pushing back against fascism. We’re manifesting clarity, courage, and communities that choose each other over cynicism — because hope isn’t naïve, it’s strategic.

2025 has been a s#itshow, and we’re done. Before we look ahead to 2026, we want to give a final “don’t let the door hit you on the way out” to the things we’re leaving behind in 2025. Welcome to the "GTFO Awards"!

Elections aren’t just about the White House. They start in your backyard. We’ll talk about why local politics matter, who’s actually running your town, and how potholes might be the most underrated political issue of our time.

Stuffing, sides, and unsolicited political opinions. This episode breaks down how to survive Thanksgiving debates — from “pass the potatoes” to “please stop quoting Facebook.” Already grabbed our Thanksgiving Rebuttal Guide? Pair it with this episode and consider yourself fully armed for the dinner table. #OrganizingChaosPod #RootsToResults

The shutdown is (mostly) over, but at what cost?

We’re talking fallout, funding, and the fine print behind America’s favorite political dysfunction.

CONTENT WARNING: This video contains discussions of sexual violence and violence against children.

NOTE: This episode was recorded on November 2, 2025 - before the deal to end the government shutdown was reached.

The government’s closed, but the drama’s wide open. We’ll explain what a shutdown really means, who’s impacted, and why this political Groundhog Day keeps happening —all while trying not to shut ourselves down in the process.

Grab your snacks and pour a drink. The ballots are counted, the dust is settling, and we’re here with caffeine, group texts, and too many tabs open to break it all down. In this reaction episode, we’re unpacking the results, analyzing the shifts, and figuring out what it all means for 2026.

Hey organizers! It's election season, and what better way to kick off a new podcast than with our predictions for the 2025 elections. Grab a snack, lock in, and join Roots to Results co-founders Laura Miranda-Browne and Sarah Virgo and Creative Director Meg Simons as we talk about the elections we're watching in 2025 and what the upcoming races can tell us about 2026.
