S3 E5: #HealMeToo Call to Action -- How We #WinEverything in Under 100 Days

The #HealMeToo Podcast & Festival have always offered insights, art, and activism to change our culture. And today, we’re taking a break from our usual format, to focus on that third part: activism -- what each of us can do to help change the culture and meet the urgent needs of now.  As you may have heard before from #HealMeToo Podcast host, Hope Singsen, she's led an electoral activist group since early 2017 called Swing Left Target 2020 NYC. You can learn more about that group at bit.ly/slt20.Last week, we recorded their full group meeting, where Hope shared the plan to help Democrats Win Everything in 100 Days, and then asked each one of us to make our personal plan of action. Because if we want to stop the murderous lies and hate violence of the GOP toward all the vulnerable populations in our country, including survivors of sexual, gender-based and intimate partner violence, then we need to take back ALL the houses -- by winning control of the White House, the Senate, and every State House where the GOP has drawn undemocratic gerrymanders that disempower Black and Brown voters, and all Democrats. But to take back all the Houses, it’s going to take all of us doing everything we can. In this recorded meeting, you’ll learn the Swing Left strategy to #WinEverything, and you’ll get to know the candidates in Swing States that Hope's group has adopted as their very own. You’ll hear about a ton of different ways you can get active, and you’ll get a chance to make your plan of action too. To follow along with the slides and see Hope's speaker notes with even more details, go to bit.ly/100dayplans. You can view the meeting Agenda here: bit.ly/slt20jul20. And we hope you'll complete the survey to make your personal Plan of Action here: bit.ly/100daysignups.Feel free to share the slides, agenda, survey and this recording with anyone you know who might feel better if they started taking action to rout the GOP from EVERY House. One caveat about the recording – we didn’t expect to end up sharing it here. We've used still images from the slide deck to replace all footage of group members, to protect their privacy in the comforts of their homes.Subscribe now and join us throughout the summer for new #HealMeToo #AtHome episodes on all the usual podcast platforms as well as on our new YouTube channel (bit.ly/hm2youtube) as we continue Season 3: #HealMeToo At-Home—insights, art and activism to meet the needs of now. Between episodes, you'll find us on all social media @healmetoofest and at healmetoopodcast.com.The #HealMeToo Podcast is hosted and edited by Hope Singsen—the artist, creativity researcher and survivor-activist who founded the #HealMeToo Festival and Podcast in NYC in the Spring of 2019. Music Credits:: "Love Is Rising" written by Vanessa Marie Milanesi & Helga Kaefer, performed by Vanessa Marie (@vanessamariemusic)Support the show
