Today we're joined by a modern-day political hero: Justin J. Pearson. An elected state representative from Tennessee, Justin has taken on the state's MAGA political leadership and Elon Musk's data centers, and is now wading into the fight against Trump's national gerrymandering by running for Congress to represent Memphis. Ezra and Leah give an update on the crypto corruption crisis in Congress, and take questions on trustworthy news sources in today's fractured media environment, depriving the trolls of our attention, and planning for this weekend's nationwide actions in solidarity with immigrant communities under threat.

11:16 Rep. Justin J Pearson
29:17 Q&A

About What's the Plan:
The onslaught of news, the chaos coming out of the White House – it’s all meant to overwhelm us. It’s a deliberate strategy to sow confusion and make us believe we are powerless to fight back.
The antidote: Coming together in community to process what’s happening, to sift through what’s important and what’s just noise, and coalesce around strategies for fighting back.
Join Indivisible co-founders Leah Greenberg and Ezra Levin each week, as we carve out an hour to discuss what’s happening and – more importantly – what’s the plan.
Join up, get to work, and let's go win this thing together: https://linktr.ee/indivisibleteam

We’re organizing against this fascist regime the only way that actually works — with on-the-ground, volunteer-led, communities of people power: https://linktr.ee/indivisibleteam
