About this listen

Democracy is hanging by a thread, but our work as citizens is about being resilient and persistent so that together, we can build the future we want to see. That’s why we’re launching The Practivist Pod — the practice of activism made practical.

If you’re looking for ways to get engaged, or just looking for ways to stay sane… we want to help you navigate what comes next. It’s an exciting collaboration with political dynamo Jess Craven, author of the Chop Wood Carry Water newsletter, and grassroots organizer Steve Pierson, host of the How We Win podcast. Each week on The Practivist Pod, we’ll share important conversations with changemakers, give you practical ways to make an impact, have some fun, and inspire hope.

This is more than a podcast — it's a place for our community to grow our practice of advocacy for justice, equity, and progress. Action is the best antidote for anxiety, and joy is a revolutionary act, so subscribe to The Practivist Pod today.

  • Tip Of The Spear with LACDP Chair Mark Ramos

    Tip Of The Spear with LACDP Chair Mark Ramos
    Aug 21 2025

    Today we talk about the redistricting push in Texas (the bad racist one) and the redistricting push in California (the one that might save our democracy). And because republicans can’t win without putting in the fix, now Trump is attacking Vote by mail. Then we hear from someone who is at the tip of the spear in our resistance against the Trump regime, Chair of the Los Angeles County Democratic Party, Mark Ramos.

    State of Play with Dr. Sara Sadhwani

    Today we talk about Trump’s DC invasion slash distraction, and Trump’s new MAGA Bureau of Labor statistics pick. A job that is way more important than it sounds.

    Fighting Fire with Fire with Texas Rep. Cassandra Garcia Hernandez
    Aug 7 2025

    Today we talk about the terrible job numbers and trump’s authoritarian response, the Texas and now national redistricting fight, and the Epstein oversight subpoena, but we are NOT talking about Trump’s stupid-ass rooftop stunts. Then Steve sits down with one of the Texas State Legislators that is breaking quorum and fighting the egregious gerrymandering in Texas, Representative Cassandra Garcia Hernandez.
