Politikid Podcast

We're back! Thank you for waiting for us! Moira and Henry take a look at some of the new technology linking the resistance. Check out Wall-of-us.org, Countable, Amplify, Resist bot (text "Resist" to 50409), and SnailMailCongress.com!

Henry and Moira detail their spring break trip to DC, attending a Seder, visiting with Sen. Casey, Sen. Toomey and Rep. Evans' staff (Hi Noel, Christain, Max and Ashley!) and taking a tour of the Capitol building.

While Henry recuperates from a week of standardized tests, Moira reviews books for activists at all reading levels. 

Moira and Henry talk about name calling and teasing, as well as the role of humor in discussing politics. It's just better "to not to" to quote Mater from Cars,  We discuss how everyday people helped congress decide how to vote on the health care bill last week and what you can do in the week ahead to make the world a little brighter. Stay tuned to the very end for a brief appearance by Alice the cat, who chose this recording to jump on the oven for the first time. 

Moira and Henry introduce each other and the podcast and discuss some recent marches and rallies they attended. Homework this week is to look for upcoming marches in your area (April is full of them!) and to find out who your elected officials are. Moira recommends ResistanceCalendar.org to see what's going on and seventy.org (Philly area) and act.commoncause.org (national) to find out who represents you!
