“"Sorting through the current political trash heap can feel tiring and demoralizing, but movement-building pros and hosts of Deep Democracy Gina Christo and Wilnelia River infuse politics with Beyoncé and T.J.Maxx candles, creating an engaging conversation that calls you to joy and justice. Highlighting the marginalized folks doing work to galvanize communities, Deep Democracy facilitates a new conversation around representative democracy. This super dense episode demystifies the vital nature of the recent mayoral elections to the run-up to 2020, unpacks big issues heading to the Supreme Court, and explains the implications of adding a citizenship question to the census. Journalist and organizer Clarissa Brooks (Teen Vogue, Nylon, The Guardian) joins the conversation this month, addressing the challenges of organizing at Spelman College, the need to have flexibility and evolution in politics, and the polarizing nature of her 2015 BLM protest against Hillary Clinton. Stressing the importance of visibility in organizing, Clarissa exposes the challenges that movements face as they become monetized. From hot takes on Shaun King’s open apology to a biting analysis of Mayor Pete, this episode proves that Deep Democracy might just be peerless in the political podcast space.

“As a woman of color currently running for House Delegate in Virginia, this podcast could not be more spot-on. Thank you for continuing to push the message that democracy needs us and that when you include the people in the margins, you include everyone. It’s on all of my campaign materials! 💙”
