How We Win
The Official Podcast of the Persistence! 2016 changed us. We woke up, and we’re fighting back. In 2018 we took back the House in a massive blue wave and in 2020 we took back the White House, but that was just the beginning. Our very democracy is under attack so we must keep fighting to build a just and equitable America for us all. Every week we talk to inspiring activist leaders, politicians, celebrities, and political insiders. And hosts Steve Pierson and Mariah Craven give you the tools you need to make an immediate impact on our most critical races.

Helping dissect it all with his characteristic precision and snark, is political commentator and the host of the “No Lie” podcast, Brian Tyler Cohen.
