And I'm from marketing background, so I knew you had to make it easy for people to understand what the problem was.

And for me, you even had to make public servants understand what the problem was.

The problem is it's not our job to fund the protection. It's our job to say this is unsafe and this is what will make it safe.

And that's how I became an activist.

This is Sarah and Beth, your listening to Pantsy Politics, the home of Graceville Political Conversations.

Hello, and thank you so much for joining us for another new episode of Pantsy Politics.

Today, we are going to talk about abortion because of Texas.

Then we are going to continue thinking about ways that we can make a difference in our communities.

Today, we're going to share a mom's successful efforts to change a law after a carbon monoxide leak at her child's daycare.

And this story is a really great way for us to think about what happens when we tackle the issues in front of us.

And we will end as we always do by talking about what's in our minds outside of politics.

But before we get started, we have a couple of housekeeping items.

We usually publish new episodes of Pantsy Politics on Tuesdays and Fridays.

We have noticed that occasionally a federal holiday complicates our schedule.

And we really want to be respectful of the people who work on Pantsy Politics other than just the two of us.

And so we are going to start on weeks where there is a Monday federal holiday releasing our regular episode Wednesday.

That means that this coming week will celebrate Labor Day, we'll record our show on Tuesday.

You will hear it on Wednesday.

So you'll have a fresh, timely episode waiting for you on Wednesday.

And we will only do this when there is a federal holiday.

So thank you for your patience and understanding about that.

And a friendly reminder coming up on that Tuesday after Labor Day, we are doing a Pantsy Politics Peloton ride.
