Ep. 40 Rallying to Win – LIVE – guests Mary Beth Yarrow, Rachel Kurtz, Jaspar Lepak & Kennadi Hurst with Tim Levy!

We are rallying with Hope and Joy to put this Woman in the White House with this music-filled evening full of motivation to Get Out the VOTE! Special guest, social and political documentarian Mary Beth Yarrow, shares her life’s journey that begins with jumping down a rabbit hole in 1968 for her uncle Gene McCarthy’s run for president and coming out a changed person. Musical guest Rachel Kurtz lets queer kids know that they’re all right with her in light of the anti-LGBTQ legislation across the country. Originally from Arizona, Jaspar Lepak sings a passionate plea to her home state to stand up and fight for her and vote for reproductive freedom for all. Zippy Laske has a powerful message for her young daughters in her heart-filled, “Hand in Hand.” Kennadi Hurst brings us to our feet in Tim Levy’s new song “JOY” written just for us for this upcoming election AND Kennadi implores us that NOW is the time to put a woman in charge! Plus, Silvia Pontaza & Sue Scott remind us that when women show up, shit happens!
