This week we’ve got an imminent budget resolution vote, a vote on the so-called “SAVE” act and, oh yeah… global markets tumbling because of the stupidest tariffs in our history. Then we’re joined by one of the sharpest minds in Democratic strategy—pollster, author, and truth-teller Cornell Belcher. We dig into what the data’s telling us, and how Democrats can win in the midterms!

Democracy is hanging by a thread, but our work as citizens is about being resilient and persistent so that together, we can build the future we want to see. That’s why we’re launching The Practivist Pod — the practice of activism made practical.

If you’re looking for ways to get engaged, or just looking for ways to stay sane… we want to help you navigate what comes next. It’s an exciting collaboration with political dynamo Jess Craven, author of the Chop Wood Carry Water newsletter, and grassroots organizer Steve Pierson, host of the How We Win podcast. Each week on The Practivist Pod, we’ll share important conversations with changemakers, give you practical ways to make an impact, have some fun, and inspire hope.

This is more than a podcast — it's a place for our community to grow our practice of advocacy for justice, equity, and progress. Action is the best antidote for anxiety, and joy is a revolutionary act, so subscribe to The Practivist Pod today.
