Inspired by Rebecca’s book, Vote Her In: Your Guide to Electing Our First Woman President, the #VoteHerIn podcast/videocast is a unique and inspirational program, jointly produced by Two Broads and Rebecca. Beginning in February 2019, in 77 episodes, the series examined, covered, and advocated the campaign to elect our first woman POTUS in 2020. After the election of the nation’s first woman vice-president, it continued to promote the importance of electing and appointing women to powerful and influential positions of public leadership−in order to achieve equality for all women−by showcasing women’s advocates and office-holders who guide and lead the movements to achieve American women’s equality. While focusing on the importance of diverse women’s political leadership and the messages and organizing strategies that work in today’s politics, the series also featured several episodes with artist friends of Rebecca’s on why feminist political art matters.
