Democracy is hanging by a thread, but our work as citizens is about being resilient and persistent so that together, we can build the future we want to see. That’s why every week we bring you The Practivist Pod — the practice of activism made practical.

If you’re looking for ways to get engaged, or just looking for ways to stay sane… we want to help you navigate what comes next. Hosted by former candidate for CA Assembly and Executive Director of Blue Wave California, Steve Pierson, and grassroots organizer and Executive Director of Field Team 6, Jason Berlin. Each week on The Practivist Pod, we’ll share important conversations with changemakers, give you practical ways to make an impact, have some fun, and inspire hope.

This is more than a podcast — it's a place for our community to grow our practice of advocacy for justice, equity, and progress. Action is the best antidote for anxiety, and joy is a revolutionary act, so subscribe to The Practivist Pod today.

    May 21 2026

    As primaries across the country are in full swing, we talk about the most blatant and craven act of corruption and self dealing in the history of our country. Trump’s approval rating hits the 30’s and he’s trying to rake in all that he can to appease his base and try to keep them from talking about the Epstein Files.

    Today, Trump’s approvals keep sinking deeper into the toilet as he heads to China for a summit amidst the backdrop of his failing war of choice. Meanwhile here in America, we are fighting back against the egregious redistricting push by Republicans in the wake of SCOTUS’ Callais decision.
