This week's Expert Extra features Jennifer O'Mara, candidate for Pennsylvania State Representative (District 165). Jen was one of many women around the country who heard the activist call of the Women's March and responded by deciding to run for office. Colleen interviews Jen and Jen's husband, Brad, by phone, and they dig deep into why Jen decided to run, how Brad is helping her, and the latest updates on her campaign. Inside 254 will check in with Jen several more times as the 2018 campaign heats up. Learn how you can help women candidates in your area, and how you can help Jen's effort to Flip the 165th in Pennsylvania!

In Episode 18, we pick a side on the events in #Charlottesville and discuss the white supremacist structure of the United States. In the Trumpster Fire, we define and discuss false equivalency, equivocation, and how Trump's use of "on many sides" in relation to the Nazi rally and counterprotests in #Charlottesville is dangerous. Our Media Minute and Activist Actions ask you to dig deeper. This no-holds-barred episode is a bit longer than usual, and digs into some lesser-reported angles of the Charlottesville incident. Join us and #resist. Share this episode with your social media networks and ask others to listen and join this fight. We can do better together.
