Hi John ,  

During the season of many holidays, we’re taking a moment to reflect, with gratitude, on this work together: strengthening our democracy and protecting the vote.

It's supporters like you who make this work possible.

As the year comes to a close, we’re wishing you peace, joy, and rest this holiday season—however you celebrate. 

Wishing all who celebrate a Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas, and Happy Kwanzaa! 

Everything we do, from hosting town halls and producing podcasts to knocking on doors, expands Pennsylvania's electorate by engaging Pennsylvanians to be civically involved and encouraging them to turn out to vote twice a year, none of it would be possible without you. 

If you love sports, culture, BIG opinions, and even bigger laughs, this episode is for you.

We get into the impact of Native American History Month, “Blue-Eyed Soul” musical artists, and how certain voices reshape culture in ways people don’t always acknowledge.

Mark your calendars:
The final episode for 2025 drops this Tuesday, December 23rd! 

Watch it on YouTube, or listen and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts
(Apple, Spotify, etc.)
