Original tape date: October 24, 2019. First aired: November 8, 2019.

This year at the Progressive Strategy Summit members of Congress and progressive change makers came together to build a movement that won't only win back the White House in 2020 but also create long term systemic change. Laura interviewed activists and congresswomen to understand how they see this critical moment when business-as-usual politics simply won't cut it. Will a movement led by women of color-inside and outside Congress-transform the government so that it truly serves the diverse people it purports to represent? Laura also interviewed actor and activist Jane Fonda at a Fire Drill Friday climate crisis rally before they both got arrested as part of an act of civil disobedience.
