Joan Esposito is joined by Jordan Zaslow, founder/executive director at Her Bold Move.

Zaslow discusses the challenges women face when running for office in red districts and abortion-ban states. Her organization supports women in these areas, highlighting the lack of female representation in male-dominated legislatures. Zaslow emphasizes the need for more women in politics to influence pro-women policies. Her Bold Move's research over 20 years shows that states with more women in legislatures pass more supportive policies. Zaslow also discusses the importance of women getting involved in politics now, as women's rights are under threat. The organization's new Substack will feature feminist perspectives on current events.
