How We Win
The Official Podcast of the Persistence! For the past 4 years, we’ve been making history in critical elections all over the country, and last year we made history again by expanding our majority in the Senate, beating election-denying republicans in crucial statehouse races, and fighting back a non-existent red wave. But our freedoms are still under attack and we must keep fighting to build a just and equitable America for us all. Every week we take you behind the lines and inside the "rooms where it happens" with strategy, and inspiration from progressive change makers all over our country! And we give you the tools you need to make an immediate impact on our most critical races.

Ashley Lytton was a typical mom and wife in suburban Utah with three children until she discovered her husband’s horrifying secret. It was a shocking crime that would alter Ashley’s life and jeopardize the safety of her children. This season of Betrayal will focus on one mother’s fight to find justice for her daughter and protection from a predator too close to home. Once we hear her story, we learn the same crime is happening every day in households all over the country. It’s a betrayal of our families, communities and everything we value in society. Season Two lays the issue bare through the family’s story and takes an honest look at a huge problem most people don’t want to even want to acknowledge.
