Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Resources to Take Action Now, How to Have Political Conversations with Friends and Family

POC Podcast - Progressive Opinions of Color

RIP RBG, but now is not the time to wallow in misery and give up. I'll talk about concrete actions you can take now, as well as the significance of this event and the upcoming election. We have to elect Joe Biden and defeat Donald Trump, flip the Senate, protect Ruth Bader Ginsburg's seat until the election, have conversations with people we know who are apathetic about politics or on the fence or support Trump to open dialogue.

Welcome to Progressive Opinions of Color (POC), a podcast that seeks to create space for more people of color in politics and economics. With the 2020 presidential election coming up and the state of the economy during COVID-19, it is more important than ever to think about who we include in the conversations about politics and economics. I am Nancy Wu, your host. I’m also an Asian American woman, an economist, and a huge politics and policy nerd. I triple majored in Economics, Government (Political Science) and Gender Studies at Dartmouth and have a Master’s in Development Economics from Oxford. I work as an Economist full time and have previously worked in economic policy at the White House (under Obama, of course) and progressive think tanks. The goal of this podcast is to engage the Asian American community and other POC and BIPOC voices in an industry that is so heavily represented by old white men. The POC Podcast will host conversations on the 2020 Presidential Election, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, the coronavirus pandemic, the state of the economy, and other pressing topics in politics, economics, and culture, all through perspectives inclusive of the lived experiences of people of color. Whether you're new to politics or already a huge politics nerd, I hope this podcast inspires community and conversation among us. Join me in reimagining politics and economics with underrepresented voices. The economy is complicated enough. Learn about it through stories from real people.
