Leader Fentrice Driskell of the Florida House of Representatives discusses Florida's extreme abortion law, which earlier this year banned abortion at 6 weeks — before most women know they're pregnant. However, there is light at the end of the tunnel, as there is an initiative on the Florida ballot this November, which, if passed, could significantly expand access in the state. Leader Driskell also discusses the importance of Vice President Kamala Harris's leadership on reproductive rights.

Beatriz Lopez, the deputy director of the Immigration Hub, an organization dedicated to advancing fair and just immigration policies, discusses the GOP's strategy of using a multi-faceted misinformation machine to fuel anti-immigration sentiment — a fear-based strategy they've invested hundreds of millions of advertising dollars in, that they hope will result in a win at the ballot box. Beatriz Lopez believes that Democrats can counter the Republican strategy, by appealing to voters' desire to end the chaos at the border, to end cruel policies, and by leaning into our shared values as Americans.
