Take 2 with Brian Derrick of Oath.Vote

About this episode

Nancy Bynum and Betsy Morgan discuss the impact of Oath.Vote with Brian Derrick, focusing on political engagement and upcoming elections.

On this episode, Nancy is joined once again with guest co-host Betsy Morgan for a conversation with Brian Derrick, of the online Democratic fundraising platform,  Oath.Vote . Brian last came on the podcast in July 2024 when many of us were still nervously hopeful that a Democrat might win the election. Now a year later, but feeling like worlds apart from the American democracy as it existed back then, Nancy and Betsy talk to Brian about Oath’s impact in 2024, their big goals for Virginia this fall and bigger goals for the midterms, the difference between witnessing and action, and so much more. Listen to the end for some great actionable suggestions for you or anyone else trying to figure out how to get more involved. And a direct link to their most impactful ways to give, updated in real time, is  here . At a time where there is woefully little to feel good about, this conversation is like a ray of political sunshine. Thank you for being a listener!
