32: States United with Joanna Lydgate

Jen welcomes States United Democracy Center CEO Joanna Lydgate to sound the alarm over the war on democracy being waged by Trump and the election deniers he inspires.  They discuss the dangers their rhetoric poses to election workers, their motives for undermining our voting systems, and why we need to take them at face value.  Critically, they emphasize how protecting democracy should be the single issue we vote on in 2024 and lay out how we can counter the threats to it.  To do so, they share how to persuade others by breaking them out of their information silos and the actions we can take individually to save our system.  Please Support This Week’s Sponsor: HelloFresh:  Enjoy a free breakfast item per box delivered right to your door for as long as you’re subscribed when you go to hellofresh.com/greenroomfree and use promo code: GREENROOMFREE Get More From This Week’s Guest: Joanna Lydgate Twitter | States United Democracy Center | Author Mentioned On The Show: Electiondeniers.org on the scope of election denial Get More From Jennifer Rubin: Twitter | WaPo | Author of “Resistance: How Women Saved Democracy From Donald Trump”

This is Jen Rubin, columnist for The Washington Post, contributor to MSNBC, author of How Women Saved America from Donald Trump. I'm delighted to tell you all about my new podcast, Jen Rubin's Green Room. We're gonna have weeks of fun with friends of Jen. Some of us will talk about the ins and outs of Washington gossip, the fun stories that we don't talk about on air, and sometimes we'll talk about deadly serious subjects and religion. Keep up with the show every Wednesday when you follow Jen Rubin's Green Room on Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen. I can't wait for you to join us.
