Vote! The Podcast
Let’s vote through this apocalypse together. The executive directors of Vote.org and Spread The Vote are here to answer your voting questions with activists, politicians, and your favorite celebs. Vote! is for anyone who has ever felt powerless, overwhelmed, under-resourced, or just plain lost when it comes to voting -- aka pretty much all of us!

The Election is Over! Well, for the most part. And putting candidates and issues aside, we're counting this whole election cycle as a WIN. In our final episode, we recap some of the voting rights wins in Mississippi and California, give a shoutout to the amazing voter turnout in Indigenous communities, give you the deadlines for the upcoming Georgia Senate run-off, and even announce Season 2!

Through a pandemic, voter suppression and chaos at large, we've made it through Election Day! We'll have Dana Paikowsky from the Campaign Legal Center unpack the likely events of the next few days. And Emmy-winning journalist and OZY CEO Carlos Watson will explain why we should be patient -- but why patience doesn't necessarily mean inaction! Plus, he'll give us some election silver linings.

We're in the final stretch of the most important election of our lifetime! And we're 99% sure it won't end on election night. So how can you be mentally prepared for the road ahead?

We look to the past to understand our present (and future!). Kat's mom asks us to dig into voting rights history (did you know Native and Black citizens, practically speaking, have only been able to vote for about 50 years?). Plus, we'll talk about how a 2013 Supreme Court case has resulted in the rise of some pretty nasty voter suppression.

It’s easy to remember to vote for president or governor. It's harder to keep track all of the candidates and offices lower on the ballot! But we see the impact of those "down-ballot" races in our everyday lives -- through policing, schools, healthcare, voting rights, the list goes on and on... We'll talk about why those races matter, and how to make sure you complete your ballot this Election Day. Featuring Rosemary...
What does voter suppression look like? It takes many forms -- from attacking the postal service, to unnecessarily cumbersome voter ID laws, to denying voting rights to people with felony convictions.
