This election year, our democracy hangs in the balance. We need news coverage that cuts past punditry and gives a voice to the new electorate – the marginalized folks that depend on a functioning democracy. Enter: The Amendment, a new podcast about gender, politics and power from The 19th News and Acast Creative Studios, hosted by award-winning journalist and 19th editor-at-large Errin Haines.
Each week, Errin sits down with people who have fresh perspectives on the state of our country – and asks questions that center the voices of women, queer folks, and people of color. The Amendment adds much needed asterisks to America’s most pressing political conversations – and gets clear on the unfinished work of our democracy.

[…] And Mrs. Bethune joins Roosevelt's kitchen cabinet, his black cabinet. She's not elected to anything. She can't even vote at home. But still, she can behind the scenes as she does become a very, very effective operative in Washington, brings scores of black women to Washington into those federal agencies where they are making policy and they are distributing monies that help to bring black folks out of the depression. So Mrs. Bethune is nimble, and understands, right? When this way is blocked, we pivot. By the 1940s, she really has developed an internationalist vision.
