Summary

We're all in for Kamala and our guests this week — political operatives and advisors Jen Bluestein and Jessica Floyd — are here to talk about it.

They've also helped us compile this handy list: "How To Support Kamala"

Jen Bluestein has spent more than two decades in the non-profit and political sectors, working high profile roles at places like NARAL Pro-Choice America and EMILYs List. She helped found Mark Kelly and Gabby Giffords’ gun violence prevention organization and lived in an abandoned building while working to elect Cory Booker the Mayor of Newark, NJ.

Jessica Floyd is the Executive Director of The Hub Project, which partners with progressive organizations to build winning campaigns on issues that matter. Jessica has extensive experience in government and has managed electoral campaigns at the local, state and national levels, including running Congressman Ron Barber’s winning congressional campaign and serving as Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords’ political director.
