Podcast appearances and mentions of jasmine clark

Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are out trying to salvage their US election campaigns after a series of gaffes started by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe calling Puerto Rico an ‘island of garbage', followed by President Joe Biden appearing to say Trump's supporters are garbage. Will any of these missteps change the course of the race? In this episode of the American Fourcast, Matt Frei is joined by Democrat state representative Dr Jasmine Clark and Republican strategist Eric Tanenblatt. Produced by Silvia Maresca, Calum Fraser, Rob Thomson, Ed Gove, Ka Yee Mak, Dani Isdale.

This past Monday, our favorite historian Heather Cox Richardson joined Red Wine & Blue for a virtual event. We were hoping to hear her insight into how this election fits into the broader story of American history, and what we might expect over the next two weeks.But if we're being honest, what we really wanted was for Heather to tell us that it was all going to be okay.And of course she couldn't tell us that with certainty. She's a historian, not a soothsayer. But she did offer some words of hope.Our own podcast co-host Rep. Jasmine Clark also joined the call, and she talked about Georgia Republicans' efforts to undermine voting in her state. During the pandemic, Georgia began offering ballot drop boxes, which were extremely popular and widely used. But despite that — or really, because of that—Republicans changed the rules and now most of the drop boxes are no longer available.That could be a disheartening story about voter disenfranchisement, but Heather encouraged us to look at it a different way. If extremist policies were popular, why would they take away drop boxes? If most Americans supported Project 2025, why are they trying so hard to keep us from voting?It's because we're the majority. Most Americans want to elect common sense candidates up and down the ballot. And we're not letting the suppression keep us from voting. In Georgia, and many states across the country, voter turnout numbers are breaking records.We have the power. We just have to use it.For a transcript of this episode, please email theswppod@redwine.blue. You can learn more about us at www.redwine.blue or follow us on social media!

The election is less than three weeks away and early voting is already open in many states. If you're listening to this podcast, chances are you agree that a Kamala Harris presidency is absolutely crucial. Maybe you've put up a yard sign, or talked to some people you know about what's on the line.But what about the down-ballot races? No matter who wins the presidency, electing Democrats up and down the ballot is just as important. If we get a President Harris, she'll need a House and Senate that can help her achieve her campaign promises. And on the terrifying chance we get a President Trump, we'll need our system of checks and balances more than ever.It goes beyond Congress too. State representatives (like our own Rep. Jasmine Clark), school boards, mayors, judges, and other local representatives have the power to drastically change our lives.This week, our guests Congresswoman Sara Jacobs and local organizer Carrie Knapp shared their thoughts about why voting up and down the ballot is so important. All of us, even voters in dark red or blue states, can make a big difference.So request a sample ballot, do your research, and become a resource for the people you know. Let's vote all the way from the tippy top to the very bottom of the ballot this year!And if you want to join our virtual event with Heather Cox Richardson on October 21st, you can learn more and RSVP here.For a transcript of this episode, please email theswppod@redwine.blue.

So far on our miniseries The American Fabric, we've learned more about immigrants and why they come to this country. We've busted myths and decried disinformation. And we've heard immigrants tell their stories in their own words.Today, on the final episode, we're talking about why this year's election is so important. We have the opportunity to choose leaders who understand that immigrants are a cornerstone of this country and want to find humane bipartisan solutions. Leaders who don't demonize vulnerable people for their own political gain. The outcome in November is crucial.The federal government hasn't passed meaningful immigration reform since 1986. On today's episode, we hear more from Congresswoman Delia Ramirez as well as our own Suburban Women Problem co-host Rep. Jasmine Clark about how Republicans are choosing their own political power over policies that would actually help people. Balancing America's national security and humanitarian needs is far from simple, but extremists like Trump and JD Vance aren't interested in solving problems. They want us to be a nation of hate. Kamala Harris, Tim Walz, and all of the incredible leaders on the state and local level want to lead us back to our ideals. We're a nation of immigrants. A nation of hope and opportunity. So it's up to us now. We have to talk to everyone we know and make sure they understand what's on the line.

Brad Raffensperger isn't taking any guff from Hollywood star Larry David.

We're only a month into 2024 but we already know that this November, our democracy depends on everyone coming together- all ages, all races, all genders. And just like other recent elections, we know we especially need young people to join in the fight. So this week, we're talking to a young woman who uprooted her life in 2022 and started traveling around Texas in a van, registering voters. Tayhlor Coleman shares how the events of January 6th inspired her to add voter registration to her “van life” and how difficult her home state of Texas makes it for people to vote. She also talks about what kinds of conversations she's been having with voters out on the road and she and our hosts agree that the best way to convince people that their vote matters is to start with local elections. Voting is a habit and making a difference in elections like city council and school board can inspire people to continue making their voices heard.Jasmine wasn't able to join us this week because she was stuck on the GA House floor debating a bill that Republicans are trying to use to remove Fani Willis. We missed her but we so appreciate her doing the important work of democracy!Finally, Rachel and Amanda raise a glass to sledding with kids and healthy new habits in this episode's “Toast to Joy.”If you know a teen who's interested in learning more about voter registration, please attend our virtual event on Sunday February 4! And don't forget to sign up for our Substack newsletter! This week we're sharing the video of our interview with Tayhlor, a video of our own Rep. Jasmine Clark being cut off while she was in the well speaking about Black maternal mortality, and more.

We're officially back in the swing of things here after the holidays and we're jumping right into it with an interview about public schools. But first, our hosts Rachel Vindman, Amanda Weinstein, and Jasmine Clark catch up about the news. We recently passed the 3-year anniversary of the January 6th insurrection and it's upsetting to see how so many Americans have shifted their views from condemning it to explaining it away. It's so important to have accurate journalism so narratives like “Jan 6 wasn't a big deal” don't catch on. The hosts also discuss the scapegoating and resignation of Harvard president Claudine Gay and the bill in OH that would ban gender-affirming care.Then we dive into the importance of education and the role that deeply involved “school moms” can play in saving our public schools with journalist Laura Pappano. We were so excited to talk to Laura about her new book, “School Moms: Parent Activism, Partisan Politics and the Battle for Public Education.” She shares what it was like to attend a Moms for Liberty conference, why inclusion is so crucial, and even that she listens to The Suburban Women Problem while she does Peloton. “School Moms” will be available on January 30th and you can read Laura's Vanity Fair article here.Finally, Rachel, Amanda and Jasmine raise a glass to new Akron mayor Shammas Malik, to Jasmine's fantastic fundraising event earlier this month, and to high hopes for a new legislative session in this episode's “Toast to Joy.”This week, Amanda mentioned the bill in Ohio that would ban critical gender affirming care - if you're in Ohio, please call your state reps and tell them to vote no on overturning Gov. Dewine's veto of HB68.And speaking of supporting the LGBTQ community, we're also hosting a live virtual event with author and former pod guest Lesléa Newman to talk about her new book "Always Matt: A Tribute To Matthew Shepard.” The event is on Tues 1/16 at 7:30 Eastern - you can learn more and RSVP here.For a transcript of this episode, please email theswppod@redwine.blue.

This week, hosts Jasmine Clark, Rachel Vindman, and Amanda Weinstein talk about how far the bar has lowered for conduct amongst extremists, whether it's Georgia Governor Kemp cowardly and dangerously supporting Trump, a man going after someone's child in a school board meeting, or Ohio's Frank LaRose changing the rules of democracy to take away women's reproductive rights. The hosts express concern and sadness at the message that extremists are sending to children: if you're different in any way, you aren't worthy of love. As moms, they know that love for a child should be unconditional.After that, Jasmine sits down with Gaby Goldstein, co-founder of Sister District. Sister District has supported Jasmine's campaign so there were a lot of warm fuzzies as she and Gaby chatted about the importance of diverse candidates, the work that Sister District does, and how red legislatures can prevent blue cities from doing great progressive work.Finally, Amanda, Rachel and Jasmine raise a glass to kids growing up, Yom Kippur, and Amy Poehler and Tina Fey in this episode's “Toast to Joy.”There are a lot of important elections this November and just a handful of votes could make the difference. So we're encouraging all of our listeners to sign up for Red Wine & Blue's Rally Your Squad. It's a fun online tool that helps you track which of your friends and family you've spoken to about voting, and it's actually improved voter turnout by up to 10 percent! To sign up, text the word RALLY to 59868.For a transcript of this episode, please email theswppod@redwine.blue. You can learn more about us at www.redwine.blue or follow us on social media!

This week, we're joined by Missy McGinnes and Shelly Rea to learn all about TroubleNation! It's a brand-new program from Red Wine & Blue that's designed to help women all across the country organize for change in their communities. Whether you've never been involved in politics before, or you already have a grassroots group and just need some support, TroubleNation can help.But before that, our hosts Rachel Vindman, Jasmine Clark, and Amanda Weinstein channel their anger and frustration at extremist Republicans saying they support families while their actions show the exact opposite. Whether it's Lauren Boebert vaping in front of a pregnant woman at the theater or the GOP attempting to rebrand itself as “pro-baby,” we know that it doesn't matter what politicians say - it matters what they DO. And everything they do shows us that they don't care about women, children, or families.Finally, Amanda, Rachel and Jasmine raise a glass to great book club discussions, community events, and Rosh Hashanah in this episode's “Toast to Joy.”You can learn more and sign up for TroubleNation here: https://go.redwine.blue/TNpodFor a transcript of this episode, please email theswppod@redwine.blue.

This week, we did something we've never done before: we recorded a live episode in front of our listeners! It was so fun to celebrate our 100th episode with Heather Cox Richardson, some special Troublemakers, women from Red Wine & Blue, and most importantly… all of you!Our lovely hosts - Rachel Vindman, Jasmine Clark, and Amanda Weinstein - shared some reflections about imposter syndrome, all the conversations we've had in the past two years, and of course the Republican Party's “suburban women problem.” Then we chatted with everyone's favorite historian, Heather Cox Richardson, about the origins of Mother's Day, the connections between reproductive rights and democracy, and the history of women shaping politics and the world.After that we were joined by Julie Womack, Chief Organizing Officer for Red Wine & Blue, along with her college-aged daughter Sydney! Julie and Sydney share a love of politics and their community, and they talked about what initially inspired them to get involved. Julie also shared more about Red Wine & Blue's new initiative The Freedom To Parent 21st Century Kids. Because right now, a small but vocal minority of parents are claiming to speak for everyone and it's time for mainstream parents to call BS. You can learn more about Freedom To Parent, including all of the fun and informative events we're planning, by going to go.redwine.blue/SWPF2P.And finally, before we wrapped up our event, Amanda, Rachel and Jasmine raised a glass to Mother's Day, all the women who inspire them, and all the Troublemakers out there in this episode's “Toast to Joy.” And this week, Heather joined us with a toast of her own: to finishing her brand-new book!We now have some exciting Suburban Women Problem merchandise to share with you as well! There are stickers, t-shirts, and even “Toast to Joy” champagne flutes to rep your love for the pod. You can check it out here: go.redwine.blue/SWPmerch.Thanks again for joining us for 100 episodes!

Season 3 of the podcast is here and we are so happy to be back with you all! On today's episode, Amanda Weinstein, Jasmine Clark and Rachel Vindman catch up on everything that's happened since they last sat down together: from Jasmine and Casey being sworn in to Republicans in disarray in Ohio and Washington. Chaos is looming around every corner, but we can counter it by continuing to have authentic conversations with our friends, family, and neighbors. The hosts are joined by Sherry Luce, an organizer in Pennsylvania. They chat with Sherry about how her state was able to swing blue in last year's midterms, her unconventional approaches to politics (pajama party, anyone?), and what she's seeing in the coming year for Pennsylvania.Then Amanda gets the chance to sit down with Gisele Barreto Fetterman, whose kindness, authenticity, and style are truly one of a kind. Amanda and Gisele chat about her charities, immigration, how running for office is a family affair, Brazil's recent “January 6th” riot, how Gisele stays positive in the face of criticism, and even her long-time celebrity crush.Finally, Amanda, Jasmine and Rachel raise a glass to Jasmine's 40th birthday, some unexpectedly positive experiences on Twitter, and to Rachel's daughter Sarah and the importance of reaching out for support in this episode's “Toast to Joy.”Troublemaker Trainings are back! Our next Training is Thursday, January 19th and it's all about school boards. Join us to learn more about how to fight against book bans, how to make your voice heard at school board meetings and join together with your friends and neighbors.

This holiday season, we're doing the podcast a little differently. For the rest of the year, our hosts will each take turns going deep on what we learned from the midterms - talking with experts and women who worked hard in their own communities. There are so many victories to celebrate and so many lessons to learn! This week, Jasmine Clark is kicking things off with one of our favorite guests and political experts, Jess McIntosh. Jasmine and Jess discuss the biggest surprises of the midterms – namely, the youth vote and the difference that a little good news can make to our mental health – along with the upcoming runoff election in Georgia. Even if having a stronger Democratic majority in the Senate wasn't at stake, Reverend Raphael Warnock is a fantastic leader, Senator, and human. Let's WarNOCK out extremism next week in Georgia.The runoff is on Tuesday December 6th. If you want to help Senator Warnock's campaign, first things first, talk to everyone you know in Georgia… both about the importance of voting and also about talking to everyone they know about voting. And if you'd like to make a donation, you can go to redwine.blue/warnock. Funds are split between Rev. Warnock and Black Voters Matter.For a transcript of this episode, please email theswppod@redwine.blue.

Back in 2020, we had the opportunity to have writer and linguist JPB Gerald on the podcast to talk about all the things. It was a great conversation and if you haven't had a chance to listen, we encourage you to go back and check it out! Well, JPB (now Dr. Gerald) is back with Val and Andrew to talk about his new book, Antisocial Language Teaching: English and the Pervasive Pathology of Whiteness. In addition to expanding on much of what we talked about in his first time on the show, the book, and this conversation highlights his thoughts on the connection between language, power, and Whiteness, as well as the links between our concept of dis/ability, and the creation of the idea of Blackness. Through the prism of "standardized" language, Dr. Gerald helps us see the ways race, language, dis/ability all work together to create a hierarchy of human value that we all have an obligation to push back against.

So... there was an election last week! And despite doom-and-gloom polls, and the media trying to gaslight suburban women, democracy and reproductive freedom won big. Turns out, voters don't support extremism. Who knew? (We did!)Our very own host Jasmine Clark won her election in Georgia, and so did our host Amanda Weinstein's husband Casey in Ohio. But those wins were only the beginning. Democrats won the Senate! There was historic turnout, especially among young people! Democrats swept Michigan! And everywhere that reproductive rights were placed directly on the ballot, voters supported choice.Of course there were some disappointments and some races we didn't win, and Georgia is headed into a very important runoff election. But we proved that when we show up and use our voices, it matters. We're going to keep working and keep having these important conversations, because democracy doesn't just happen around an election. It happens every day of the year.Next week is Thanksgiving, and we'd love to hear from all of our listeners about what you're thankful for! We encourage everyone to leave us a voicemail at (614) 600-2480‬ and we'll play your replies on next week's pod.For a transcript of this episode, please email theswppod@redwine.blue.

Dr. Jasmine Clark is a microbiologist by training, but in the wake of the 2016 election, as she says, she went from a scientist to a mad scientist. She felt called to get involved, first with the Atlanta March for Science, and then to actually run for office. As the first Black woman elected to represent a solidly suburban house district in Georgia, her perspective on the ways the suburbs are changing is invaluable. She joins us to discuss the disconnect between the mostly White vision of the suburbs baked into popular conception, and the reality of our suburbs today. Plus, we talk about the importance of making your voice heard through voting. While we know that voting alone is rarely sufficient to create change, we deeply believe that it's a crucial step towards justice. So, if you are reading this and haven't voted yet, please, go vote!

This week, Rachel Vindman and Jasmine Clark are joined by Jo Carducci (JoJoFromJerz), filling in for Amanda Weinstein. There's now only four weeks until the midterms and that means we only have a short time left to talk about how important this election is. And one of the best ways to convince people is to find the issue that speaks to them… for some people, that's abortion; for others, it's democracy; for others, it's schools. So we're going to focus on each of those topics over the next couple episodes and today, we're starting with schools. The hosts are joined by Kim Biondi, an English teacher in North Carolina who left education after 21 years because of right-wing extremists. Kim shares what she loved about teaching and what made her decide to leave. In retaliation for standing up for students and books, Kim was called out by name at school board meetings and attacked by a Moms for Liberty group. But even now that she's retired, she's still standing up for students with a grassroots group called Guardians Against Book Banning. Jasmine then sits down with Grace Lynch, the producer and host of Teaching Texas - a podcast that takes a deep dive into the American education system. In an election year with raging debates around education, this new podcast charts how Texas has dictated American education over the last sixty years and examines how the fight over our children's classroom has only intensified today.Finally, Jo, Jasmine and Rachel raise a glass to birthdays, dissertations, and successful campaigning in this episode's “Toast to Joy.”If you're listening to The Suburban Women Problem, you're already tuned in to what's at stake in this election. Now we need you to make sure that your friends and neighbors are too. That's where RWBVotes comes in. It's an easy and fun way to keep track of the 10, or 20, or 30 friends that you're committing to talk to about why this election is so important.

This week, we're very excited to welcome Dr. Allison Gill to the show! Allison is a military veteran who created the incredibly popular podcast Mueller She Wrote and is now co-host of the women-led news podcast The Daily Beans.Our hosts Rachel Vindman, Jasmine Clark, and Amanda Weinstein chat with Allison about her military service, including her thoughts about abortion access for service members, what made her decide to start Mueller She Wrote, and what it's like hosting a political podcast with other talented women (something we know a little bit about!). She also tells us what we need to know about the Mueller Report, the documents found at Mar-A-Lago, the January 6 hearings coming back to primetime TV this month, and whether Trump will ever actually be charged with a crime. Finally, Allison and our hosts raise a glass to surviving a trip to Six Flags with teenagers, a visit to Vienna, an incredible interaction with Elizabeth Warren, and to all the women out there fighting for democracy in this week's “Toast to Joy.”If you're ready to join the Great Troublemaker Turnout, please sign up here! Talking to the people in your network is the most impactful way to influence voters, and Red Wine & Blue is committed to providing everything you need to tap into this super power: training, tools, community, and support.

This week on the pod, hosts Jasmine Clark, Amanda Weinstein, and Rachel Vindman talk about trolls. It's not just bots or anonymous accounts on Twitter anymore - in many places, the trolls are actually running for office. So many right-wing extremists don't have real policy positions anymore, they're just running on fear and personal attacks. But suburban women know better!The hosts are joined by Lindsay Mahaffey and Christine Kushner, two school board members in North Carolina. They've been dealing with their own trolls, facing name-calling at school board meetings and on the campaign trail. Christine and Lindsay are so passionate about the teachers and students in their district… we're lucky to have women like them standing up for our kids.Then Rachel shares her interview with Amanda Marcotte, a senior politics writer at Salon and the author of "Troll Nation.” They chat about how the Republican party has been steadily losing support for their policies so instead, they've turned to “revenge politics”... leaning into fear, rage, and name-calling instead of coming up with new policies that speak to American voters. Amanda and Rachel also discuss the importance of women talking to the men in their lives about the issues that affect them, like reproductive rights.Finally, Amanda, Jasmine and Rachel raise a glass to birthdays, investing in our communities, and Rachel's upcoming Troublemaker Tour in this week's “Toast to Joy.”We talk a lot on this podcast about how important the upcoming midterm elections are. But not enough people talk about how politics can also be fun! So on Thursday September 15, we're holding a special Troublemaker Training with First Lady of Pennsylvania Giselle Fetterman, who knows just how important it is to have a little fun while we're fighting for democracy. To sign up for this very special Troublemaker Training, you can visit redwine.blue.For a transcript of this episode, please email theswppod@redwine.blue.

This week on the pod, hosts Jasmine Clark, Amanda Weinstein, and Rachel Vindman talk about voting “down ballot.” That just means voting for local candidates! Because as important as it is to have good people representing us in Washington, local elections have even more of an impact on our day to day lives.The hosts are joined by Kate Nazemi, a mom in Pennsylvania whose school board has been infiltrated by extremists. Central Bucks school board now has two members of Moms for Liberty and one member who even believes in QAnon, and they're enacting harmful policies like banning books, rainbow flags, and sex ed. Kate talks about how this extremist school board got elected in the first place and why it's so important to engage in local politics.  Then Jasmine sits down with Yasmin Radjy, the new Executive Director of Swing Left. Jasmine is a Swing Left endorsed candidate, so this conversation is a match made in heaven. Jasmine and Yasmin talk about the important work Swing Left is doing to mobilize voters, how we can do a better job of talking up all the recent Democratic victories, and the power of suburban women. They even find a little time to chat about cute babies and Gossip Girl.Finally, Amanda, Jasmine and Rachel raise a glass to labor unions, fun campaign events, and fighting for democracy in this episode's “Toast to Joy.”If you're listening to this podcast, you know the importance of the upcoming elections and you want to turn out all your friends to vote. But you might still want a little help having effective and persuasive conversations. Join us on Thursday September 8 for a special Troublemaker Training with Jess McIntosh. You can sign up for Messaging 101 here.For a transcript of this episode, please email theswppod@redwine.blue.

This week on the pod, we're continuing our back-to-school conversation. There's so much for parents to worry about: school shootings, Covid, book bans, teacher shortages, and more. But before we get to all that, our hosts Amanda Weinstein, Jasmine Clark, and Rachel Vindman talk about Biden's student loan forgiveness plan.  They discuss how frustrating it is to hear wealthy Republicans complain about $10,000 loan forgiveness when so many of them had PPP loans forgiven… but what's NOT frustrating is the White House's response! We're so glad Biden and his team are fighting back against misinformation.The hosts are then joined by Pam Crossman, a high school teacher in Ohio. Pam talks about how hard it is to be an educator right now, with her curriculum being questioned by extremists at the same time as they expect her to be the first line of defense against an active shooter. Pam also discusses her husband Jeff, who's running for Attorney General right now to stand up against corruption and extremism in Ohio.Amanda then interviews Dr. Katelyn Jetelina, best known online as “Your Local Epidemiologist.” Dr. Katelyn is a science communicator who specializes in gun violence, but became famous for her daily Covid updates. She and Amanda discuss the causes of our gun violence epidemic and some potential solutions - along with Dr. Katelyn's thoughts about Covid and vaccines as kids go back to school.Finally, Amanda, Jasmine and Rachel raise a glass to the first week of classes, birthdays, and to everyone out there who keeps fighting against extremism in this episode's “Toast to Joy.”On September 1st, Red Wine & Blue will be hosting a virtual Troublemaker Turnout event with Heather Cox Richardson.

Content warning: this episode contains frank discussions about abortion and the loss of a child. Ever since the fall of Roe v Wade - or actually, ever since the Supreme Court opinion leaked - we've been talking about abortion. But so far we haven't done a deep dive into one of the most controversial aspects: late term abortion. So that's exactly what we're doing today.Late term abortion isn't actually a medical term, it's a political term used to scare people, and you'll hear more about that in today's interview. But before that, Rachel Vindman, Jasmine Clark, and Amanda Weinstein are joined by Ashley All. Ashley is the Communications Director with Kansans for Constitutional Freedom, one of the organizations that made this month's abortion victory in Kansas possible.Rachel then sits down for a very honest and meaningful conversation with Robin Utz. Robin is a mom, a storyteller, and an abortion advocate. She started a website to share her own later-term abortion story and to encourage open-minded and compassionate discussions about infertility and abortion. Robin shares the circumstances of her own abortion, the disconnect between right-wing politicians and most Americans' views on abortion, and what we can do to help stand up for reproductive freedom. You can learn more at Robin's website, DefendingGrace, or at WhoNotWhen. Finally, Amanda and Jasmine raise a glass to the weather holding out for Girl Scouts and a great campaign video, and Rachel toasts to the brave women of Ukraine in this episode's “Toast to Joy.”On September 1st, Red Wine & Blue will be hosting a virtual Troublemaker Turnout event with Heather Cox Richardson.

This week on the pod, we're talking about running for office. When women run, especially women of color, it's undeniable that they're held to a different standard than their white male counterparts. Jasmine Clark tells co-hosts Amanda Weinstein and Rachel Vindman about how her validity as a candidate has been questioned all along the way, even after winning her race in 2018.The hosts are joined by Mari Manoogian, the youngest woman currently serving in the Michigan State Legislature. Mari discusses her experience running for office as a young woman of color and about how the voters in Michigan want to elect leaders who fight for reproductive justice and stand up against extremism.Jasmine then interviews A'shanti Gholar, the president of Emerge, an organization dedicated to recruiting and training Democratic women to run for office. Jasmine and A'shanti chat about what got her first interested in politics, the uphill battle that women face when they run for office, and what we can do to support them… not just as candidates but also as human beings.Finally, Amanda, Jasmine and Rachel raise a glass to solidarity and the rising Blue wave, to kids connecting to their culture at camp, and to listeners who are maintaining their hope despite living in red districts in this episode's “Toast to Joy.”If you're ready to join the Great Troublemaker Turnout, please sign up here!

Polls consistently show that “the economy” is voters' top issue. But what do people actually mean when they say they're worried about the economy? What IS the current state of the economy? How is it going to influence the midterms? And how does it affect suburban moms?This week, our resident economist Amanda Weinstein breaks it all down for us and makes it easy to understand. She's joined by Jasmine Clark and guest host Beverly Batte, and together they talk through how the economy affects our everyday lives and how it's inextricably linked to other issues like Roe v Wade, climate change, and extremism. Amanda answers some listener questions from our Facebook group SWEEP and gives some easy replies to Republican one-liners about the economy. (Spoiler: Biden does not in fact control gas prices!)Finally, Amanda, Jasmine and Bev raise a glass to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and to remembering the joy of teaching and parenting in this episode's “Toast to Joy.”The midterm elections are now only 15 weeks away!

It's the 4th of July and, like a lot of Americans, we have some complicated and nuanced views on patriotism. So today, we're releasing a special bonus episode of the podcast where we discuss what patriotism means to us. Tune in to hear Rachel Vindman, Amanda Weinstein, and Jasmine Clark discuss their thoughts and feelings about Independence Day, America, and how patriotism means working to make the United States a more perfect union… for everyone.If you're ready to join the Great Troublemaker Turnout, please sign up here!

Lately, the news has been pretty bleak: losing our reproductive rights, seeing just how close we came to losing our democracy on January 6… there haven't been a lot of reasons for hope. But this episode we're changing that, because we're talking to four incredible young LGBTQ activists. As our panel moderator Jess McIntosh says, advocacy is a relay race - and these young people are already running with the baton. And if teenagers can put together marches or speak at school board meetings, how much more could we all be doing?But before we get to our youth panel, hosts Rachel Vindman, Jasmine Clark, and Amanda Weinstein discuss how they're feeling about the Roe news a few days later. They chat about how the Republican Party seems to be backpedaling because they're realizing that overturning Roe is widely unpopular. But they aren't going to stop trying to take away our rights, from abortion to gay marriage, so we need to keep having these conversations and organizing.Finally, our hosts raise a glass to their kids, to a little alone time, and to being in the right place at the right time in this week's “Toast to Joy.”You can visit go.redwine.blue/roepod to get more information about how to stand up for reproductive rights. There, you can find answers to frequently asked questions and learn more about how to get involved. The court has spoken and we want to know how many suburban women are willing to join us to fight extremism.For a transcript of this episode, please email theswppod@redwine.blue.

This week on the pod, we're commemorating Juneteenth. After catching up on news, Amanda Weinstein, Jasmine Clark, and Rachel Vindman talk about what Juneteenth is, why we celebrate it, and what conversations and events they've been a part of in their communities this week. With the right-wing outrage over Critical Race Theory and teaching accurate history in classrooms, it's more important than ever to remember our past… the good, the bad, and the ugly.The hosts are then joined by Meredith Lawson-Rowe, a suburban mom in Reynoldsburg, Ohio. After winning her race for city council, Meredith has been organizing Juneteenth celebrations in her town. Then Jasmine interviews Jo Banner, who founded a nonprofit along with her twin sister called The Descendants Project. Their organization is dedicated to uplifting and protecting the descendants of enslaved people in Louisiana river parishes. Jo and Jasmine discuss Juneteenth, plantations, the legacy of slavery and how Black lives are still being disregarded in the present day.Finally, Amanda, Jasmine and Rachel raise a glass to community events, living in the moment, and a really meaningful interaction with a constituent in this episode's “Toast to Joy.”If you're ready to join the Great Troublemaker Turnout, please sign up here!

Today, Rachel Vindman's husband Alex joins us to discuss the January 6 hearings. Rachel and Alex, along with Jasmine Clark and Amanda Weinstein, chat about what's been happening at the hearings and why they're so important. Alex answers some listener questions from our Facebook group SWEEP and at the end of the episode, Alex even gives his own Toast to Joy.If you're ready to join the Great Troublemaker Turnout, please sign up here!

On this episode of the pod, Amanda Weinstein, Jasmine Clark, and Rachel Vindman talk about how the fall of Roe v Wade could have some unexpected consequences for women seeking fertility treatments. They're joined by Autumn Lucy, a woman in Michigan who took a part-time job at Starbucks just because their insurance covers IVF treatments. Autumn discusses her fertility journey, just how expensive IVF is, and why it was so important to share her story with the world. Like the hosts, Autumn also has serious concerns about what the fall of Roe v Wade might mean for women who are pursuing fertility treatments.After that, Amanda sits down with Dr. Lucky Sekhon, an OB-GYN and fertility specialist. On Instagram and on her blog The Lucky Egg, she empowers women with evidenced-based information about their fertility. Dr. Lucky talks about why she's passionate about helping women with their fertility and how she sees abortion and fertility care as equally important facets of helping women choose when and how to have a family. She also dishes about some of misconceptions and weird fertility advice she's heard.And finally, Amanda, Jasmine and Rachel raise a glass to Alex's birthday, new puppies, and seeing each other in person last weekend in this episode's “Toast to Joy.”If you're ready to join the Great Troublemaker Turnout, please sign up here!

On this episode of the pod, Amanda Weinstein, Jasmine Clark, and Rachel Vindman talk about sex, baby... comprehensive sex education, that is! Sex ed overlaps with every other issue we've been discussing this year: book bans, abortion rights, trans kids, accusations of “grooming,” even gun violence. It's clear that right-wing politicians care more about maintaining power than they do about the lives and well-being of kids.The hosts exchange stories of what they learned in sex ed and talk about why comprehensive sex ed (especially teaching consent) is so important. In fact, Jasmine has pushed for a bill in the Georgia legislature that would require consent to be taught during sex ed. (To no one's surprise, the GA Republicans refused to even discuss the issue.)Then we're joined by Christine and Shannon Curley, a mother/daughter duo who host a podcast called Sex Ed Debunked. Shannon and Christine discuss the shortcomings of American sex ed programs and why it's important to include respect, consent, body autonomy, gender identity and sexual orientation - at age appropriate levels. Shannon also chats about what it's like to host a podcast about sex with her mom! If you want to check out Sex Ed Debunked, you can find it on all major podcast platforms.After that, Rachel sits down with Jess McIntosh. Jess is a communications consultant, the co-host of Signal Boost with Zerlina Maxwell, and has been working with Advocates for Youth to stand up for abortion access, LGBTQ rights, and honest sex ed. Jess and Rachel discuss why the radical right has been using sex ed to scare suburban moms, what it means to be non-binary, the weirdest thing about being a commenter on CNN, and so much more.Finally, Amanda, Jasmine and Rachel raise a glass to military veterans and the start of summer in this week's “Toast to Joy.”Our National Troublemaker Training with Senator Mallory McMorrow is coming up on Monday, June 6. If you'd like to join Mallory and other badass suburban moms, you can register for this event at https://go.redwine.blue/GetTrained. For a transcript of this episode, please email theswppod@redwine.blue.

On today's episode, Amanda Weinstein, Jasmine Clark, and Rachel Vindman talk about abortion. Yes, again. We're not going to stop talking about it until we all have the right to choose in this country. We also discuss some of the primaries that happened last week - extreme right candidate and ethical nightmare Madison Cawthorn lost his election, and so did extremist school board candidates in Durham, NC. But we still have a huge fight ahead of us in November, so it's crucial to keep having personal conversations with the folks in our families and neighborhoods. Talking to the people in your network is the most impactful way to influence voters. And speaking of personal stories, ever since the news about Roe v Wade leaked, the women in our Facebook community SWEEP have been sharing so many personal stories. Almost 1,000 women have shared their abortion stories, so this week we've decided to highlight three of those women - reading their own posts, in their own voices.After that, Jasmine sits down with Kate Kelly of Ordinary Equality and author of  “Ordinary Equality: The Fearless Women and Queer People Who Shaped the U.S. Constitution and the Equal Rights Amendment.” Kate and Jasmine discuss the history of abortion and how it became one of the pillars of the Republican Party, the history of the Equal Rights Ammendment, and Kate's favorite quote from “Legally Blonde.” Finally, Amanda, Jasmine and Rachel raise a glass to taking a break, the beach, birthdays, and getting dolled up for a gala in this week's “Toast to Joy.”Now is the time to create and uplift pro-choice content and support movements that are fighting for abortion rights, which is why we have joined the Listen To Women coalition! You can buy a t-shirt today to support the National Network of Abortion Funds.For a transcript of this episode, please email theswppod@redwine.blue.Please note: This episode was recorded before the news of Tuesday's mass shooting broke, but unfortunately mass shootings are common enough in this country that we talked about gun violence just last week. Shannon Watts joined us from Moms Demand Action, a grassroots movement of moms fighting for common sense legislation to prevent gun violence. You can join in their fight by going to MomsDemandAction.org or by texting the word "Ready" to 644-33.

We were deeply upset by the tragic mass shootings last weekend, so today, we need to talk about guns. Amanda Weinstein, Jasmine Clark, and guest host Katie Paris discuss how frustrating it is to feel like politicians are doing nothing while thousands die from gun violence. The majority of Americans support common sense legislation on firearms, so we need to stay loud and let our leaders know that we demand better.Indiana mom DeAndra Dycus joins the pod to share her personal connection to this issue: after a stray bullet paralyzed her teenage son, she started an organization called Purpose for My Pain to support other families who have been affected by gun violence. DeAndra also spoke at the 2020 Democratic National Convention and published a book, Beautiful Resilience: Stories of Inspiration on Living Through a Mother's Grief.After that, Amanda interviews Shannon Watts, the founder of Moms Demand Action. They discuss what moms can do to fight for better gun legislation, why it's important for more women to run for office, and how Shannon stays positive and hopeful while working on such a devastating issue. They also find a little time to talk about Julianne Moore, Elizabeth Warren, and Shannon's favorite yoga pose. Finally, Amanda, Jasmine and Katie raise a glass to community support, to the women of SWEEP, and to attending the Georgia Democratic State Dinner in this week's “Toast to Joy.”If you're ready to join the Great Troublemaker Turnout, please sign up here!

On today's episode, Rachel Vindman, Amanda Weinstein, and Jasmine Clark continue to process their feelings about last week's Roe v Wade news. Although it can be easy to stay in a place of anger and sadness, we need to turn those feelings into action - and win at the midterms in November! The only way we can keep right-wing extremists from taking away our rights is by voting them out. And the best way to do that is to have honest conversations with the people in our own networks.Katie Paris joins the pod to tell everyone about the Great Troublemaker Turnout, Red Wine & Blue's new relational voter turnout program. Katie praises all the incredible women in our Facebook community SWEEP who have been sharing their personal abortion stories; it can be uncomfortable or even challenging at times, but the best way to change minds is to speak honestly and from the heart. After that, Rachel sits down with Ravi Gupta and Jason Kander, the hosts of the podcast Majority 54. Their pod is all about how to talk to the people in our lives who have different political views than us– that uncle, that cousin, that parent who might have voted for Trump. How can we reach them and change their mind? They also discuss Jason's new book, Invisible Storm, which is about running for office, PTSD, marriage, and more.Finally, Rachel, Amanda and Jasmine raise a glass to Mother's Day - to moms of all types, to being treated to a nice dinner, and to taking a little time to recover from the news - in this week's “Toast to Joy.”If you're ready to join the Great Troublemaker Turnout, please sign up here!

Today we're tackling another difficult topic: the criminal justice system. But before we get to that and other important issues, like what's been going on in Ukraine, we have something positive to celebrate! Last weekend, hosts Jasmine Clark, Amanda Weinstein and Rachel Vindman finally all met each other in person! Amanda and Rachel attended a fundraiser for Jasmine's re-election campaign but they also all made time for meaningful conversations and just getting a tour of Jasmine's neck of the woods.After discussing the prison system amongst themselves, the hosts are joined by Barbara Gaskins, a mom in North Carolina who founded a non-profit dedicated to incarceration re-entry. And on top of that, she's also running for Congress! Amanda, Jasmine and Rachel talk to Barbara about her own experience with the criminal justice system and how difficult it is to move on with a clean slate, even decades later. They also discuss the overall injustice of the system, from the paltry charges given to the January 6th insurrectionists to the constant fear Jasmine and Barbara have for their sons interacting with the police.After that, Rachel interviews Marlon Peterson, the author of Bird Uncaged: An Abolitionist's Freedom Song. Marlon faced a difficult childhood as an immigrant in Brooklyn and ended up spending over 10 years in prison. He has since become a speaker, an author, and an activist, fighting for incarceration reform. Marlon and Rachel discuss his book, his work, and the connections he sees between the “skin-peeling work” he had to do to face his own past and the bans on Critical Race Theory that stop us as a nation from facing our past together.Finally, Rachel, Amanda and Jasmine raise a glass to their fun weekend together in Atlanta in this week's “Toast to Joy.”If you want to join the conversation, head over to theswppod.com!

Today, we're talking about all things housing policy. What makes a neighborhood a good place to raise a family? How can we say “Yes In My Back Yard” instead of “Not In My Back Yard”? But first, hosts Amanda Weinstein, Jasmine Clark and Rachel Vindman talk about the news. Jasmine just got out of session in the Georgia Legislature and her Republican colleagues passed some really bad bills. And new abortion bills and “Don't Say Gay” bills are sweeping the nation. But in some much-needed good news, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson was confirmed to the Supreme Court! Erinn Grube, the Village Council President in Chagrin Falls, Ohio, joins the pod to talk about how they were able to put up some new housing developments while still keeping the cute and historical character of their town. Erinn discusses the importance of walkability and what her kids have learned about local government by watching her work.After that, Amanda gets to chat with economist and housing expert Dr. Jenny Schuetz about her new book, Fixer Upper: How to Repair America's Broken Housing System. They discuss what suburban women should know about housing policy, how it affects our daily lives, how a history of racism has affected housing in America, and how affordable housing is good for everyone.Finally, Rachel, Amanda and Jasmine raise a glass to big milestones for their kids, to a little alone time for themselves, and to people who say “Yes In My Back Yard!” in this week's “Toast to Joy.”If you want to check out Red Wine and Blue's “Parent Playbook,” you can find it here. It's a fun guide full of helpful advice for moms who want to organize in their communities.For a transcript of this episode, please email theswppod@redwine.blue.

On today's episode, Rachel Vindman, Jasmine Clark, and Amanda Weinstein talk about how overwhelming everything has been feeling lately. There are so many fires to put out and we can only carry so many buckets. They talk about the absurd GOP antics at Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson's confirmation hearings, Biden's remarks about Ukraine, and how we can redirect the national conversation while still whacking all of those right-wing “whack-a-moles.”Then TN mom Taylor Lyons joins the pod to talk about her work with Chattanooga Moms for Social Justice. Taylor's organization has organized a banned book fair, provided books for libraries in underserved communities, held a workshop for parents of trans kids, and had difficult but important conversations with their neighbors. Taylor is basically an all-around super mom-- and her adorable baby even makes her presence known!After that, Jasmine sits down with one of our favorite humans on the planet, Connie Schultz. They talk about how to stay hopeful and engaged, how to lean into love, how to put down our buckets once in a while, what advice she'd give her younger self, and who she'd cast as her husband in the movie version of their life.Finally, our hosts raise a glass to family and to Spring Break in this week's “Toast to Joy.”For a transcript of this episode, please email theswppod@redwine.blue.

We have such an amazing guest on the pod this week… Senator Cory Booker! Ever since Trump “warned” suburban women that Cory Booker would be coming to our neighborhoods if Biden got elected, we've been excitedly waiting for him to visit. And this week, he dropped by The Suburban Women Problem!But before we get to Senator Booker, hosts Jasmine Clark, Amanda Weinstein, and guest host Katie Paris talk about the inspiring women of Ukraine, schools, and an article Amanda co-wrote where she discovered that job growth is actually more tied to great schools and parks than it is to tax cuts for businesses. (Yet again, policymakers should be listening to moms!)Then the hosts are joined by Red Wine & Blue's organizing director Julie Womack. Julie drops by to tell everyone about the brand-new Parent Playbook, a fun guide full of helpful advice for moms who want to organize in their communities. Julie also talks about some of the amazing women she's met through her work with Red Wine & Blue and how she considers an “activist” to be anyone who cares about their community.And then it's the moment we've all been waiting for… our interview with Cory Booker! Amanda and Katie sit down with the Senator to discuss Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, hope, book bans, comfort TV, and his grandma. And of course he destroys a few right-wing talking points while he's at it. Finally, the hosts raise a glass to best friends, proud Sports Mom moments, and to inspiring women in the military in this week's “Toast to Joy.”For a transcript of this episode, please email theswppod@redwine.blue.

A lot of schools might be on spring break this week, but with public education at the center of so many right-wing attacks, there's no break for teachers. So in this episode, we're putting America's teachers front and center!This week, Red Wine and Blue hosted a roundtable discussion with four public school teachers to hear about what they've been going through… in their own words. Book bans? Critical Race Theory? Covid? Angry parents at school board meetings? Teacher shortages? We talk about all of it and more.But before we get to our panel of teachers, hosts Rachel Vindman, Jasmine Clark, and Amanda Weinstein dig into what they've been seeing in the news. Rachel gives an update on Ukraine, Amanda talks about rising gas prices, and everyone gets furious over the dangerous abortion bills in Missouri and Texas. (As Jasmine says, “if you've never had a period, you should not be writing bills about pregnancy. Period.”)Finally, our hosts raise a glass to rest and recovery, seeing family (and discovering that all three hosts are big sisters!), and of course to amazing teachers in this week's “Toast to Joy.”If you enjoy The Suburban Women Problem, you might like White Picket Fence - a podcast from Wonder Media.For a transcript of this episode, please email theswppod@redwine.blue.

This is an emotional one, y'all. Hosts Rachel Vindman, Jasmine Clark, and Amanda Weinstein dig into their anger over Ukraine, right-wing fear-mongering and disruptive tactics, gun bills, name-calling, and Marjorie Taylor Greene. The midterm elections this year could not be more important!Then our hosts are joined by Jen Cousins, a mom in Florida who has been doing such good work for her community, her family, and her state. She's been standing up against the absurd and dangerous Don't Say Gay bill on behalf of her nonbinary child– and if that wasn't enough, she also co-founded the Florida Freedom To Read Project to push back against book bans. This mama is fighting a lot of really hard battles and we're so proud and grateful for her amazing work.After that, Rachel is joined by her friend Brad Meltzer, a best-selling author of fiction, nonfiction, comic books, and children's books. His series of biographies for young readers, Ordinary People Change The World, includes books about Rosa Parks and MLK (which, surprise surprise, have recently made it on banned book lists). Brad and Rachel discuss racism, education, standing up for books, secret government warehouses… and what it's like to meet a president.Finally, our hosts raise a glass to volunteers, getting in their daily steps, and once again to the brave people of Ukraine in this week's “Toast to Joy.” Slava Ukraini.We're currently running a survey for you, our listeners, to give us feedback about the show!
