  • The Power of Protest - Together We Will – Indivisible Los Gatos
    2025/10/14

    We sit down with the voices behind Together We Will – Indivisible Los Gatos, a grassroots movement born out of outrage, resilience, and community action. Panelists Karla Albright, Geof Pawlicki, and George Hoffman share how personal turning points during the Trump era sparked their political engagement — from postcard campaigns to local demonstrations like the Tesla Takedowns.

    They talk about what drives everyday people to organize, how the “No Kings” protest connects to years of sustained activism, and why collective action still matters in 2025.

  • No Kings 2, San Jose: Rebecca Elliott on Community and How to Show Up
    2025/10/13

    Host Jackie speaks with Rebecca Elliott, admin of Indivisible San Jose, about No Kings 2 in St. James Park. Rebecca explains the goal of building community, the evidence that 3.5% participation can shift outcomes, and how long-running efforts, such as Project 2025, fit into the current moment. She details real impacts already appearing, including cuts to SNAP, pressure on Medicare and the ACA, and why Santa Clara County’s Measure A funding matters for keeping county hospitals open.

    She previews the San Jose event plan: a noon start, a march to City Hall and back, light-rail guidance, a Gandhi peace team on site, and options for people who won’t march. She outlines mutual aid collections for unhoused neighbors and other ways to act from home, like calling Congress and joining a local chapter. She also tees up voices expected at the mic, including the People’s Working Party, labor, the ACLU, and immigration lawyer Mani Jalali. Listeners receive the basics to show up prepared, stay safe, and connect with Indivisible San Jose through the website and email newsletter.

  • Your Ballot Box Defense: Why California Needs Prop 50 & Measure A
    2025/10/13

    In this special in-depth interview, host David James sits down with a panel of distinguished local leaders to unpack two critical issues facing California voters. Feeling powerless in the current political climate? This episode explores how you can take action right from your ballot box.

    First, Rebecca and Laura, representing the Santa Clara County Democratic Party National Team, demystify Proposition 50, also known as the "Election Rigging Response Act." They explain why this emergency measure is a direct and necessary counter-offensive to what they describe as a Republican "power grab" through gerrymandering in states like Texas. Learn how a "Yes" vote on this temporary redistricting plan could add five crucial Democratic seats in California, potentially giving the party a fighting chance to win back the U.S. House of Representatives in 2026.

    Then, the focus shifts from the nation to the neighborhood with Kylie, the Campaign Manager for Measure A. She lays out the dire situation facing Santa Clara County's healthcare system, which is threatened by a billion-dollar annual cut in federal funding. Kylie explains how Measure A's temporary five-eighths of a cent sales tax is the only viable solution to prevent the closure of hospitals and ERs. She shares a powerful, real-life story to illustrate how these county services are a lifeline for all residents in a traumatic emergency, regardless of their private insurance.

    Tune in to understand the profound connection between these two ballot items, the stakes if they fail, and why your vote on both is a crucial act of agency in a turbulent time.
