About this episode

The episode marks the return of Beyond Voting for its second season, emphasizing the need for community support as it transitions to independence and prepares for SXSW.

As Beyond Voting resumes season two, we’re entering a new chapter - fully independent and committed to continuing this work into season three and beyond. Like so many independent media projects, the political and economic realities of this moment have reshaped how the show is funded and sustained, but our mission remains the same: to tell the truth, hold power accountable, and imagine what civic life can look like beyond the ballot box. With the show heading to SXSW, this moment feels especially urgent - we’re bringing these conversations into new rooms, new audiences, and new communities, and we need your support to make that possible. If Beyond Voting has informed you, challenged you, or helped you feel less alone, or more activated in your community, we invite you to support the next iteration of the show. You can contribute to our crowdfunding campaign at https://givebutter.com/PhNlBi , follow us on Instagram @beyondvotingpodcast , and stay connected as we build what comes next together. Every share, every dollar, and every signal of support truly matters.
