Let's Pod This is the official podcast of grassroots organization Let's Fix This, Inc., where we talk with policymakers, advocates, elected officials, and regular folks from across Oklahoma to explain how our government works and provide context for the pressing issues facing our state.
Let's talk about immigration, legislative deadlines, and the budget battle that's brewing.
We're joined by Jasmine Brown-Jutras and Jill Owens, both organizers with ACLU Oklahoma, to discuss their careers as community organizers, what "organizing" actually means, and how you can do it in your own community.

Governor Stitt delivered his sixth annual State of the State address to joint session of the Oklahoma legislature and we noticed a higher-than-usual amount of religious content. Given our conversation last week with Rev. Dr. Shannon Fleck and the rise of Christian nationalism across the country, we felt it important to highlight those excerpts for you.
