In our first episode of The Rabble: In the House, we talk with Shellie Hayes-McMahon about how we can make changes in our own houses AND in the Texas House to uphold Black civil rights and dismantle white supremacy. Plus, we get to know candidate Natali Hurtado for TX House 126 and become fangirls for life thanks in part to our mutual love of The Golden Girls.

We're wigging out! Like... we wore wigs to record this episode because why not? But also real talk: we're working to figure out the most useful, uplifting format for the pod during these weird times. So we're gonna take a couple weeks off to ponder our place in the podiverse, but before we do, we wanted to leave you with a few thoughts and some silliness. Check out our social media @TheRabbleTX to see a video of this episode and some extras!

Are you missing humans? You're not alone (well, you are alone... but not in your feelings!). This week we explore the ways folks are staying connected and supporting each other around the state. Olivia Stitilis, Organizing Director for the Texas Democratic Party, joins us to talk about how our state is adapting to our current reality without taking our eyes off the goal of flipping Texas in November.

Did y'all know that if you don't fill out the census, the system will default to marking you down as white and male??! For more on this and lots of other census trivia, listen in on our conversation with Hannah Roh, the 2020 Census Manager of the Austin Asian Complete Count Committee. Plus, we dress up in COVID-pun costumes and make her guess what we are.

Real talk: we almost didn't record this episode because we were all feeling freaked out and frankly unmotivated to do work-ish things. But OH were we glad we did. Not only did it feel so good to connect with each other, we loved the upbeat words of wisdom from our guest, Dr. Pritesh Gandhi. He is on the front lines working directly with patients as a physician and the associate chief medical officer at a nonprofit community health clinic in East Austin, where he’s leading the COVID19 response. He's also running for Congress in TX-10 in his spare time.

When we celebrate 100 years of women having the right to vote, what's been left out of that story? What is left to be done? These are the questions we got to dig into with our sheroes from Rosa Rebellion, Meagan Harding and Virginia Cumberbatch, and democracy gurus Alice Yi and Dyana Limon-Mercado. Get informed with a quiz on women's suffrage, get inspired by our brilliant panelists, and then get to work with our Blue Squad mission this week.
