Christina Bain is a long-time colleague, good friend, and partner in my venture, the Pocketbook Project. She has made a public service career beginning from presidential campaign trials in the halls of the Massachusetts State Legislature. She has been working in politics and elections for over two decades and has worked on numerous local, state, and national campaigns. She has also served on our Massachusetts Republican State Committee, an elected position. Besides all of this, she is also a human trafficking expert.

Today, Christina joins me to talk about what’s going on in Afghanistan right now, particularly regarding the trafficking situation. Christina talks about the different types of human trafficking that she specializes in and shares her research. We talk in-depth about sexual human trafficking and child marriages, stressing that the human trafficking issue is a humanitarian issue, not a partisan one. For those who want to help improve the situation, Christina points to a nonprofit, faith-based organization that works to welcome Afghan refugees into the country and help them get on their feet.

“I think we can try our very best, but there’s unfortunately always gonna be evil in the world, and you’re always gonna have situations like conflict. But how we can best mitigate it is where we can shine. And if we have one case and one individual that we’ve helped, then we’ve done a great job for the time that we’ve done it.”

Women on the right need a safe space to discuss politics, policy, news, and ownership over the fact that it is ok to agree to disagree. It is our First Amendment right to free speech. Before we can even out the number of women in our local, state, & federal governments, we need to empower women to feel comfortable and confident discussing these and other topics.

My name is Jennifer. I’m a single mom of three girls living in Boston. I’m a lawyer with two political science degrees, and I have no problem talking politics with people who disagree with me.

I spent three years as the Chairman of the Massachusetts GOP and ran for the very liberal Boston City Council. I’m a frequent analyst on Newsmax, Fox News Radio, and Boston Media. As a Republican in a blue state, I know a few things about how to disagree agreeably.
