Episode 25: Resist with Sammy Kanter

Welcome to the Season 3 premiere of The Gynarchy Podcast! Today, I’m speaking with Sammy Kanter, founder, chief media strategist, content creator, & a new media producer at Girl and the Gov, a politics-focused communications platform, about how we as everyday citizens can resist rising authoritarianism in the US.

In “Episode 25: Resist”, we acknowledge how overwhelming and intimidating it can be to follow politics in our current environment and how tempting it can be to tune it out, and Sammy shares her tips about how to stay positive, remain engaged, and push back against fascist influences.

Here are some topics we discuss:

• Sammy shares a bit about her background and what inspired her to start Girl and the Gov
• How Sammy uses the Girl and the Gov and various newsletters she has created to make complex political issues more accessible, engaging, and actionable for diverse audiences, particularly women
• How to stay current and “microdose” politics, to prevent overwhelm
• Key political topics that women should be focused on
• Frustration with our political system, including the two-party system, term limits, age limits, campaign finance
• Positive and encouraging things currently happening in the political sphere
• How social media is changing politics, e.g. Gavin Newsom’s messaging
• What to really focus on to effect real political change
• How to inspire disengaged young voters to participate
• The importance of supporting media influencers and platforms that align with your values
