What happens when the rules of democracy are rewritten in the middle of the game? In this urgent first episode of Prescribing a Healthier Future, California State Senator and physician Dr. Akilah Weber Pierson exposes a national power grab threatening not just our democracy, but the very programs that keep families healthy, fed, and housed.

Joined by Wil Rodriguez-Kennedy, Chair of the San Diego County Democratic Party, Dr. Weber Pierson unpacks how mid-decade redistricting in states like Texas, Florida, and Georgia could upend fair representation—and why California’s Prop 50, the Election Rigging Response Act, may be the only safeguard left to check presidential power.
