In this dynamic episode, Liz Minnella joins PUSH The Next Generation host Ashley Jackson to reflect on the 2024 election and the fight for equity in America. From analyzing the Democratic Party’s successes and failures to dissecting Republican strategies, Liz shares sharp insights from her work as a political organizer and fundraiser. She highlights the transformative power of coalition-building, uniting women across racial lines, and shares actionable tips in political fundraising 101.

Together, Liz and Ashley explore the need for Gen Z to challenge outdated political norms, disrupt the seniority rulebook, and harness the digital age to lead with a nuanced understanding of both the electorate and the internet. They also dive into parallels between today’s reality and the world of “Wicked,” the importance of forward-thinking strategies—like connecting with young people before they’re eligible to vote—and social media’s role as a political battleground.

Ashley reflects on the lasting trauma of COINTELPRO on past progressive movements and the transformative impact of her father, Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr., on the Democratic Party, urging Gen Z to build resilience, expand their collective memory, and harness their agency to redefine the political playbook.

This is a must-listen for anyone ready to find their niche, influence their sphere, and embrace a new era of political engagement. Don’t miss this special episode of PUSH The Next Generation—tune in today!
