Blue Vote Cafe Podcast
Listen in as DA members David Shellenberg and Rachel Eugster chat with Ezra Levin and Debbie Weiss of Indivisible about reasserting democratic control of the country, and how Indivisible began. You don’t want to miss this one.
Ezra talks about the transformative potential of a nonviolent movement of local communities protesting peacefully and boisterously and demonstrating to each other that we are not alone in fighting authoritarianism.
Debbie offers practical tips for how everyone and anyone can contribute, and both underline the message that only the people can save democracy.
Ezra also reminds us all that gathering in your community to protect each other is the most human thing you can do. LISTEN HERE.
Do you have a story to tell?
We all do. Have you been to a DA Event? Are you a volunteer? Are you impacted by impending legislation? No matter where you live, we’d like to see the faces of Democrats Abroad. Even very short (15 to 30 second) videos that are fun can make a big splash.

Read the article from 13 January 2025 as a reminder of how compassion healed us in the aftermath of Covid-19. Trump is a lot of bluster - and uses it to great effect as a method of negotiating to get precisely what he wants. To endure it, stay healthy, but also realize it is a game he plays: ask for the sun, moon and stars. When you’re offered the moon, take it. That’s what you came to the table for in the first place.
