S4, Episode 2: Freedom Is Not a Metaphor
<p>There's been a lot of news, and Edwin and Hannah are here to break it all down.</p><p>In this episode of News You Can Use, we catch up on the Supreme Court's ruling in Louisiana v. Callais, which green-lit racially discriminatory redistricting and handed the GOP a sharper tool to push communities of color out of political power. We also talk about the federal raid on the Ohio Organizing Collaborative — an attack on voting rights that affects all of us.</p><p>But here's the thing: while they've been busy rigging the rules, PA Stands Up has been organizing. We're talking real wins — hundreds of Lancaster County residents shutting down a data center deal in Columbia, Lehigh County members fighting back against budget misinformation, and the Pennsylvania House passing the Digital Ad Tax just days after a mass action in Harrisburg.</p><p>Then we sit down with Magnus, PASU's Statewide Comms Summer Fellow, for a real conversation about what it means to be a brown queer organizer in 2026, building community across difference, and why they can't sit this one out.</p><p>As Pride Month and Juneteenth remind us — freedom isn't a metaphor. It's something people fight for, generation after generation.</p>

S4, Episode 1: “Why Primaries Matter” (with Alicia)
<p>Season 4 is here, and Edwin and Hannah are kicking things off with an episode you’ll want to share. We’re joined by Alicia, a member leader with Lehigh Valley Stands Up, for a timely conversation about why voting matters so much this year—and why primary elections are just as important as the general. </p><p>Alicia breaks down what’s at stake, how primaries shape the choices we get later on, and what listeners can do right now to be ready when it’s time to vote. Edwin and Hannah also catch you up on what we’ve been working on so far in 2026 and what’s ahead this season. </p><p>If you’ve ever thought “my vote doesn’t count” or “primaries don’t matter,” this episode is for you.</p>

S3-Episode 10: Organizing Our Way to the Midterms (Season Finale)
<p>What does it look like to run candidates who answer to the people? In our season finale, host Hannah sits down with Brad, Shannon, and Maria to break down why candidates must stay rooted in organizing—not consultants—and what it will take to win the 2026 midterms. They talk about building real relationships, turning out working-class voters, and how we hold electeds accountable after Election Day.</p>
