Zoom Event

This week’s Friday Power Lunch feels less like a podcast and more like a conversation happening all across America right now: How do we hold onto democracy, dignity, truth, and each other when the guardrails keep getting tested?
We are walking a tightrope. Between exhaustion and action. Fear and courage. Cruelty and community. Silence and speaking up.
This week’s guests take us from the global fight against authoritarianism… to the direct impact of ICE enforcement and civil rights battles unfolding right now in Virginia… to the powerful ways communities are building spaces rooted in dignity, equality, inclusion, and action. And what we can DO about it.
Special Guests:
-Brynn Tannehill, Naval Academy graduate, former naval aviator, author, &amp; senior defense analyst. Author of “American Fascism: How the GOP Is Subverting Democracy”
-Chris Kaiser, Policy Director ACLU of Virginia 
-BIG TEN Women’s Summit 2026, SHOP-LIVE-VOTE Your Values Expo. Team leads: Laura Richardson &amp; Laura MackJoin the Friday Power Lunch podcast, weekly at Noon.
