Politics As Usual

About Politics As Usual

Politics is often seen as a game for old, rich White men, and in a lot of ways, it is. BUT, if you really knew how deeply entrenched the political game is to your everyday life, and had a better understanding of what organizers do every single day to make your life better, maybe you’d invest a little more time? Politics As Usual is a podcast brought to you by Relentless Love, and every episode, we tell real stories from real organizers involved in real politics – whether at the local, state or national level. From the Democratic Party’s intentional sidelining of qualified Black political operatives, to understanding how to combat the overabundance of White men in political punditry, we dive deep into the everyday life of organizers – you know, the folks truly on the front lines of democracy.
