About this episode
What happens when a development economist, lifelong social justice advocate, and grandmother of four decides she's had enough and writes the progressive answer to Project 2025? Jacqueline Brux joins People of Distinction to break down her brand-new book Project 2026: A Mandate for Leadership on the Progressive Promise. A raw, week-by-week account of surviving Trump's second term and a bold policy blueprint for what comes next. From the 45 million people facing starvation due to the Iran war's ripple effects, to the single-payer healthcare math both parties refuse to touch, this conversation goes places most podcasts won't.
