In this episode of Stay Human America, take a trip to sweet old Sedona, Arizona, a truly magical place that Maddox and I get to call our new home. Brace yourself dear tourists– you’re about to experience our infamous vortexes, albeit virtually, in an unconventional way. People typically think of Sedona as a slow-paced sanctuary, an escape from the normal every day grind, and for the most part, they’re right. People like me who moved here want peace and serenity, but we’re also not cut off from the rest of the world. And in this episode, you will see, we the people, peacefully protesting, at Hands Off marches and May Day rallies that have taken place nationwide. See our normally calm, uncongested streets filled with Sedonians taking a stance for human rights, small businesses, universal healthcare, and much much more. And thanks to Nonprofits like Indivisible, Democrats of the Red Rocks and Sedona Action Network who continue to make it all happen, set to a backdrop of radiant red rocks turning a blissful blue, Energy fields are everyone here, filling us all with hope, that democracy will prevail.

Along the way, you’ll meet devout Christian and outspoken Republican Matthew , a single dad fighting for women’s rights, a heartbroken mother whose trans-daughter was fired from the military, a teen tormented over our deteriorating planet, and a State Senator, who travels from Minnesota to give us a glimpse of truth, the inside scoop on what’s really going on in Washington and what Congress is doing about it, with a tyrant at the helm.

Step inside the home of one proud patriot in Prescott Valley, AZ - full of flags and Trump memorabilia. Meet my very own MAGA mother – a self-proclaimed Philly girl who spent most of her life on the east coast. During the pandemic, Kathy moved out west to settle in Trump Valley, AZ with her husband, where she would be closer to her two children. One of those children is me, her democratic daughter. Despite living in Delaware, Kathy has a strong distaste for Biden, and an inexplicable devotion to a Donald J. Trump. We’re here today to understand her viewpoint, and her many conspiracy theories. I’m also hoping it will help me cope with the very mixed feelings I have about loving her unconditionally, while wresting with the fact that she stands for a maniacal man who believes in mass deportations and ending equal opportunity rights.

Relationships between democratic daughters and MAGA moms in today’s extremely politically polarized environment are fragile and complex. Will ours survive?

May Day, May Day! In this episode of Stay Human, America, daring Democrats, and even registered Republicans, take to the streets of Prescott Valley, better known as Trump Valley, Arizona, to rally for equal housing, healthcare, fair wages, union protection, and safety. Join me and Maddox, my French Bulldog, on the picket line, on our liberal quest to uncover the truth about this so-called Trumpy town. Meet 60s hippies, retirees, a school cafeteria cook, veterans, a firefighter, and even a drumming grandma determined to bring back democracy.

Make no mistake MAGAs, 250+ passionate, yet peaceful Prescott Valley protestors are reclaiming their power, and they will not be intimidated. Yavapai County Democratic Party, and Democratic Women of the Prescott Area stand united – keep your ears open for honks from confirmatory cars, and revved up, road-raged right-wing, engines, passively aggressively voicing their distaste for our free speech.
