In this jam-packed episode of Beyond Resistance, Sarah and Jennifer sit down with Ace Deuce’s own Eli Savit — environmental lawyer, Washtenaw County Prosecutor, and candidate for Michigan Attorney General. Get ready, because this conversation goes everywhere: protecting democracy, taking on corporate bad actors, surviving feedback as community leaders, and why the SAVE Act is . . . let’s just say, not super democratic.

Eli breaks down what’s at stake in Michigan (spoiler: a whole lot), why Attorneys General are democracy’s last line of defense, and how planning ahead for 2026 and 2028 elections isn’t optional — it’s urgent. From fighting PFAS contamination and wage theft to keeping AI from price-gouging us all during emotional airline bookings, Eli brings the receipts and the passion.

Of course, this episode wouldn’t be complete without classic Beyond Resistance energy:

🔥 Jennifer and Sarah unpack what real leadership looks like in red communities.

🔥 A deep dive into voting rights, the SAVE Act, and why accessible elections matter.

🔥 Eli’s completely serious quest to find Michigan’s BEST fried pickles (this becomes important, trust us).

Whether you're organizing in a red county, fired up about building blue power, or just here for fried-pickle discourse, this episode delivers clarity, humor, and a whole lot of hope.

Tune in, get inspired, and remember: the antidote to despair is ACTION. 💙

If you’ve ever wondered how podcasting, activism, and a dash of Real Housewives chaos could combine to fuel a political glow up, this episode is your new obsession. 🎙️🔥

This week on Beyond Resistance, Sarah and Jennifer sit down with Michelle Glogovac — author, activist, founder of The MLG Collective, and the internet famous Podcast Matchmaker™ — to dig into how storytelling can literally build power in red communities.

Michelle went from selling jet fuel (yes, actual jet fuel) to igniting conversations that spark empathy, community building, and political courage nationwide. She breaks down why podcasts are empathy machines, how to use your personal story as an organizing tool, and why authentic conversations matter more than ever in this era of misinformation and polarization.

We talk:

💙 Building blue power through storytelling

🎙️ How to craft a message that connects with real humans

🔥 What political candidates get wrong about messaging

😂 Why podcasting sometimes feels like eavesdropping (with permission)

🤝 How community organizing starts with one honest conversation

✊ And yes . . . we discuss confronting MAGA energy at a Super Bowl party

This episode is funny, fiery, deeply human, and packed with insights for activists, organizers, candidates, and anyone trying to make change from the ground up.

If you’re working in community organizing, political communication, grassroots activism, or simply trying to figure out how to show up in your own town, Michelle’s wisdom is the pep talk you didn’t know you needed.

Hit play, get inspired, and let’s build the world we actually want — one story (and one podcast) at a time. (And yes, Jennifer realizes she pronounced Michell's last name wrong. Michell was just too nice to correct her! At this point, she has to pronounce at least one thing wrong an episode or it would be weird!)

Suzanna breaks down her journey from helping run her family’s restaurant to prosecuting tough cases, navigating crisis after crisis in the Whitmer administration, and now stepping onto the statewide stage to defend voting rights, protect democracy, and modernize the SOS office with bold ideas like digital driver’s licenses and expanded walk‑in access. She shares powerful insights on election security, fighting misinformation, serving rural communities, and building real blue power in red areas.
