Sisters of the Night Caucus

We're back with fun and frolic and an amazing Superior Court candidate, Jill Beck! Today we've got hexes, Katie rates a Sheetz, and we get serious and then EXTREMELY silly with Jill Beck.

Well here we, part two of two. Be forewarned, this episode we cover the chapter on race and it is...not great. So take that into consideration.

We did it. We read Democrats 101 by JM Purvis and we have some thoughts. Two episodes worth of thoughts and honestly we could have done more, but we didn't want to. Come on a journey with us as we begin to talk about what's missing from this treatise on unifying Democrats.

We're excited to have Justine Andronici back to talk about the constitutional amendment and legislation to open a window in the statute of limitations for survivors of child sexual abuse. We're talking about how this could help survivors, how some people are trying to turn it into a political football and more. 

We're back with our second County Spotlight segment and perhaps a few hexes *cough* climate change *cough*. More importantly, we're excited to talk with OG sister, Laura Burke and returning guest Carol Taylor about their team run for County Commissioner. Find out why they're running together, and what they have to say about UPMC's affect on Blair County. Laura Burke in the Altoona Mirror: https://...

We are back, and we're recapping PA State Committee and the winter endorsement meeting.

Who's our guest this week? REPRESENTATIVE MALCOLM KENYATTA! That's right, he's our first male identifying guest and we were so excited to have him. Don't look forward to a flood of dudes on this pod though, we only make exceptions for very cool dudes. We talked post election, what we learned, crowd sourced hexes and what's making us happy right now. Don't forget to join our patreon at www.patreon....

We're back with a special pre-election election security episode. Two spectacular Democratic County Commissioners tells us everything we need to know about election security. But first, Katie nerds out on election code. DON'T FORGET TO VOTE.

It's a shorty episode this week. As we get closer to the election, we - as we're sure you - are burning the candle at both ends trying to make sure we get wins for PA. In the meantime, Gillian, Katie and Angela took some time to talk what's keeping us alive and what is organizing. Check it out (and sign up for a canvass shift).

It's an all coven episode, we're some number of days away from the election and all we want to know is...is it over yet? We're crotchety and cranky but we still love you all. Join us as we vent our way towards election day! Events: Go knock some doors.

Sinus infections and pink eye be damned, it's 50ish days out from the election and we're powering through. We're bringing some Real PA Trivia, pondering a new 3 truths and a lie PA Trivia thanks to a wild one from Angela, and talking to Political Director for PA & DE SEIU 32BJ Andi Perez! She's digging in with us on tips for candidates approaching unions for endorsement and so much more.

We're beyond thrilled to have State Rep candidate, La'Tasha D Mayes on with us for this episode. We're doing crowd sourced hexes and trying not to just listen in awe to La'Tasha. We had some great conversation and hope you enjoy our triumphant return! Events: GO VOLUNTEER FOR CANDIDATES: mobilize.us/padems

We're hexing this week, including the idea that we've told you not to vote which seems bonkers when you say it out loud. We also talk with Sara Agerton, candidate for State House.

Strap in for part 2! We're going deep on constitutional amendments and real PA trivia. Oh and are you interested in hearing Angela do an EDM mix of Vote Harder? We're considering it.

We had more hexing, trivia, budget bs, and constitutional chaos than we could reasonably fit into one episode so we had to split it up. This week look forward to us giving our fully un-edited thoughts on the infamous White House press release about SoMe AcTiViStS allegedly being out of step with the Democratic mainstream before we start diving into the budget with our guest Susan Gobreski.  F...
