Is It All Peachy? A Case Study from Georgia

Is It All Peachy? A Case Study from Georgia

Author: Acast Creative Studios August 9, 2024 Duration: 26:12

To kick off a conversation about third parties, it’s crucial to get a sense of what voters on the ground are thinking. A swing state like Georgia makes for a particularly compelling case study. Georgia was crucial in President Biden’s victory and in securing the Democratic majority in the Senate — thanks in large part to efforts by voting engagement groups like the New Georgia Project. 

Moving into 2024, A’Shanti talks to Ranada Robinson, the Research Director at the New Georgia Project, to get a sense of what she’s hearing from “overlooked” voters in the state.

The Brown Girls Guide to Politics Podcast is all about amplifying the voices of women who are too often forgotten in media coverage. Host A’shanti Gholar leads conversations with women changing the face of politics. In the BGG to Politics blog, A’shanti created a space for women of color to learn about the current state of politics, to support others breaking into the political sphere, and to celebrate incredible women changing the course of the country. A’shanti founded the blog in 2018 and Wonder Media Network is thrilled to extend her platform to audio.
