This program takes a look at the politics in all that we experience in life. Today’s show deals directly with the political - focusing on the midterm elections and featuring stories of women with no prior political experience who decided to get involved. On the She Ra Solution, Kristin Thiel features an accountant in Rwanda who challenged a government that targeted her father’s business. But first, we start with two different conversations with local groups about their plans for the midterm elections. One group, Basic Rights Oregon, is focusing specifically on several ballot measures, including Measure 105 here in Oregon. And the first interview is with two women from the Indivisible movement. Smitha Chadaga from Indivisible Oregon and Amber Tatge from Indivisible Clackamas - they talk about how Indivisible got started, what compelled them to join, and goals for the political future. Here’s Smith Chadaga and Amber Tatge.
