I'm so excited to have y'all here. This is the very first episode, so “Hi, y'all!”I want to just give a little bit of background about what this podcast is about and what we're doing here and what you can expect. I am a native, born and raised, of Austin, Texas, and I have worked in progressive organizing and issues for pretty much all of my career. About 20 years now. And I came up with the idea of this podcast this summer, when, you know, the election was what it was. The presidential election was really hitting its stride and a whole lot of people I was talking to were feeling both, uh, pretty pessimistic and pretty disheartened about things. And, to be frank, I kept having conversations with folks in more progressive states who felt like Texas was pretty backwards and that the things that were happening in red states were sorta “all your fault for voting for the people who you voted for” and “why do people keep voting against their interests?” And, you know, “you sort of made your bed and now you gotta lie in it.” And what I realized was one, that's really not a fair characterization of anywhere in the south, but also that some of the most creative and impactful organizing that I've ever seen is happening in red states around this country. And it's easy to feel a little bit self-righteous and a little bit smug about really big wins when you are in places where the people in power are predisposed to those wins. And when you're in a place like Texas or Louisiana or Oklahoma, or Florida, stopping some of the worst stuff that comes out of the imagination of the right wing is often the biggest win you're going to get. And those are things that are really hard to communicate to people and, uh, people forget about pretty quickly. So, my thought with this podcast was that we would have on people who are doing movement work, who are advocating, who are working for, uh, the lives and livelihoods and wellbeing of the people in this state and other red states… to have them come and share their stories and share tactics. And, because I really find that building connections is the way that we maintain energy for organizing and for progressive movement work in the long haul. So... This is a labor of love. I have never done a podcast before. I've never been on a podcast before I am, uh, figuring out audio engineering and everything all on the fly. And, uh, hopefully one of these days I'll be able to hire someone to help me produce it. But right now it's me and my computer and my microphone. So coming up, I have, we're going to have a couple of episodes, uh, with interviewing some grassroots leaders, uh, here in the state, in labor, in organizing, uh, Texas is actually a place in the country where labor involvement is growing. Uh, you probably didn't hear that very much, uh, from wherever you're listening. And also have some folks talking about public health, uh one of the places that's been really effective in public health organizing has been in the fight around HIV and AIDS. And so we'll be talking with some long-time HIV and public health activists and other folks coming up. And so if you have someone who you think would be great to have on the podcast, let me know. , and if you have questions, like say you're an organizer, you're working on an issue or you’re in some part of the country that feels really tough ...
