We can see what needs fixing, yet more and more, it feels like the problems are too big and the bad guys are winning. But the truth is, they’re not. They’re just hoping we stop fighting. Welcome to Assembly Required with Stacey Abrams, a new podcast from Crooked Media and Democratic changemaker Stacey Abrams. Stacey knows better than anyone that societal shifts happen when a group of ordinary people decide that a problem is solvable, and are willing to pitch in and work towards the solution. Each week, Stacey will break down the biggest issues we face into digestible, actionable items, introduce us to the warriors for good already working towards solutions, strategize, and share tangible ways to get involved. Because we can't fix everything, everywhere, all at once; but we can each do something, somewhere, soon. You can watch on Youtube or listen to new episodes every Tuesday.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-21T22:17:29.300733+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/assembly-required-with-stacey-abrams-6977119"},"episode":{"title":"What’s Next for Voting Rights, and Why Activism Matters (w/ Jane Fonda)","slug":"what-s-next-for-voting-rights-and-why-activism-matters-w-jane-fonda","published_at":"2026-05-05T07:05:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/assembly-required-with-stacey-abrams-6977119/what-s-next-for-voting-rights-and-why-activism-matters-w-jane-fonda","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/assembly-required-with-stacey-abrams-6977119","url":"https://audioboom.com/posts/8899214","audio_url":"https://clrtpod.com/m/pscrb.fm/rss/p/prfx.byspotify.com/e/arttrk.com/p/CRMDA/mgln.ai/e/284/dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/audioboom.com/posts/8899214.mp3?modified=1777954080&sid=5166618&source=rss","summary":"This week, Stacey opens the show by answering audience questions about the Supreme Court’s recent ruling on the Voting Rights Act, and what it means for our democracy.
