Summary

This week, Jason and Ravi lay out Majority 54’s plans for the upcoming year - focusing on gaining momentum before the 2022 midterms and building long-lasting power. They talk about the importance of plugging in to down-ballot races, how to stay optimistic in the face of bad news, and how a rural teacher in Kentucky can educate students about election fraud. Plus, to kick off the new segment Road to the Midterms, Jason and Ravi sit down with Ben Wikler, the chair of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin. They discuss the key electoral races in Wisconsin that could change the course of electoral history - and how you can plug in to help.
