  • Summary

  • This election year, our democracy hangs in the balance. We need news coverage that cuts past punditry and gives a voice to the new electorate – the marginalized folks that depend on a functioning democracy. Enter: The Amendment, a new podcast about gender, politics and power from The 19th News and Wonder Media Network, hosted by award-winning journalist and 19th editor-at-large Errin Haines.



    Each week, Errin sits down with people who have fresh perspectives on the state of our country – and asks questions that center the voices of women, queer folks, and people of color. The Amendment adds much needed asterisks to America’s most pressing political conversations – and gets clear on the unfinished work of our democracy.

    The War on Transgender Rights with Kate Sosin and Orion Rummler
    Oct 17 2024

    Since 2021, at least 177 anti-trans bills have become law across the country. In an effort to understand this trend and its implications, The 19th News published a six part series about trans rights.
