🔥 Soccer Moms, Mutual Aid, and Building Power Without Permission 🔥

This episode of Beyond Resistance is fueled by rage, laughter, and some seriously effective organizing.

Sarah Schultz and Jennifer Austin kick things off fired up about women—especially the so‑called “soccer moms” who keep getting underestimated while quietly running protests, food trains, mutual aid networks, and entire communities. Spoiler alert: no one’s getting paid, no shadowy cabals required—just deeply competent people pivoting existing networks and getting stuff done.

From pandemic-era mutual aid to today’s grassroots resistance, this convo pulls back the curtain on how “overnight movements” are actually built: relationships, group chats, Facebook pages, and people who refuse to sit still when their neighbors need help. It’s organizing without permission, and it works.

Then, the pod welcomes Nikki Porcher, a powerhouse out of Georgia who somehow manages to be all of the following: Air Force veteran, former public school teacher, nonprofit founder, podcaster, single mom, and Democratic candidate for Georgia Labor Commissioner. Nikki breaks down what a Labor Commissioner actually does (hint: it matters a LOT), why Georgia is more politically flippable than you think, and how community—not consultants—is the real engine of change.

If you’ve ever felt like the only blue dot in a red place, this episode is for you. It’s funny, honest, occasionally unhinged (in the best way), and packed with real-world lessons on how people—especially women—are building power, together.

🎧 Hit play. Get fired up. Then go do something.
