Episode Details

Texas is at the center of America’s battle over democracy, voting rights, and representation. In this episode of Rethinking Freedom, host Aya Fubara Eneli sits down with State Representative Jolanda Jones — attorney, activist, champion athlete, and unapologetic fighter for justice.

Rep. Jones has energized Democrats across the country by boldly calling out voter suppression, redistricting abuses, and attacks on democracy. From her childhood in Houston’s Third Ward to becoming a 4-time national track and field champion, Academic All-American Hall of Fame inductee, attorney, author, and 11-time elected official, Jolanda has lived her life breaking barriers and standing up for the people.

In this hard-hitting conversation, we explore:

Jolanda’s journey from poverty to politics

The fight against Donald Trump’s plan to steal Congressional seats

Why Texas Democrats left the state to block voter suppression bills

How gerrymandering impacts your community and your vote

What’s next in the fight for democracy in Texas

Concrete action steps YOU can take today to get involved

Rep. Jones is a trailblazer, a truth-teller, and a leader who refuses to back down.
