Young voters are the largest, most diverse voting bloc in the country, but they’re also the most disillusioned. In this episode, we dig into the gap between political power and political participation among Gen Z and Millennial voters. Why do so many young people feel like voting doesn’t matter? What’s fueling their dissatisfaction, and what motivates them to show up?We break down the numbers, bust the myths, and spotlight the organizers, campaigns, and conversations that are shifting the narrative. From TikTok to town halls, this episode is a crash course in how to reach future voters where they are, and why their voices are essential to the future of democracy.

What happens when red pill content leaves the group chat and hits the ballot box? In this episode of We Vote Too, host Leise Winny is joined by filmmaker, writer, host, and educator Nerra Muhammad to break down how red pill ideology has become more than just toxic dating advice—it’s a gateway to misogyny, racism, and far-right politics.Together, we unpack why young white men are shifting toward Trump, how patriarchy harms everyone, and what it means to love—and fight for—a better future. From TikTok to the voting booth, it’s time to talk about how masculinity became a battlefield.

In this episode, host Lisa Winny explores the disconnect between rising employment numbers and the lived reality of many Gen Z and Millennial workers, who say the job market still feels like a rigged game. From the fading promises of workplace DEI to endless rejection emails for being “overqualified,” we ask: What does work feel like today, and how does that impact civic engagement?Additionally, we revisit a 2023 interview with Khaaliq Crowder, a journalist and media professional, who shares his candid experience navigating job rejection due to being "too qualified." Additionally, we revisit a 2024 interview with Khaaliq Crowder, a journalist and media professional, who shares his candid experiences navigating job rejection, being perceived as "too qualified," and why he refuses to give up on carving his path.⏱️ TIMESTAMPS00:00 – Disclosure00:32 – Intro music00:47 – Opening thoughts: Jobs, vibes, and the vote05:21 – Interview intro: Khaaliq Crowder07:46 – How hard is the rejection economy?

Is a third party a real alternative, or just the reason your least favorite candidate wins? In this episode of We Vote Too, we unpack the structural roadblocks, cultural skepticism, and political urgency surrounding third-party politics in the U.S.Host Leise Winny sits down with political organizer Muhammad to discuss exploring third parties, exploring their historical role, whether third parties are viable, what role they’ve historically played in elections, and how they might better serve marginalized voters than the two-party system. Can a third party work—or is the system too rigged for real choice?From the spoiler effect to single-issue voter traps, and from ballot access to the 2024 stakes, we’re asking: What would it take to build a third party that wins?Because We the People?

We've all seen what too far right looks like. But what about the other side? Can you go too far left… and what does that even mean in America?In this episode, host Leise Winny and guest Deanna Neal (organizer, commentator, and unapologetic truth-teller) dig into the tension on the left—from disillusioned progressives to centrist Democrats losing the room. We unpack why some voters once fired up for Bernie ended up voting for Trump, and ask: Is perfectionism paralyzing progress? Are we labeling each other to death? And is the fear of being seen as "radical" holding us back from real change?

Immigration in the U.S. is more than headlines and border walls — it’s a complex system that touches millions of lives, often in invisible ways. In this episode of We Vote Too, we break down what’s going on: from visa categories and green card backlogs to DACA, asylum, and undocumented status.We explain how these systems work (and don’t), what’s changed under recent federal crackdowns, and why immigration raids — like the ones unfolding in cities like Los Angeles — are just the tip of a much deeper policy iceberg.Our guest, human rights and immigration attorney Yannick Gil, helps us understand how enforcement priorities have shifted, the impact on communities, and what legal protections remain in place.Most importantly, we explore how these policies affect all of us — not just immigrants — and share tangible ways you can support families, combat misinformation, and advocate for meaningful reform.Whether you’re brand new to this issue or deep in the work, this is your immigration explainer, action guide, and h

Today on We Vote Too, we’re diving headfirst into a conversation many avoid but desperately need: Why do so many low-income white Americans keep voting against their own economic interests?Let’s be real—despite the myth of the “welfare queen” (hint: she doesn’t look like you think), white Americans make up the largest group receiving government assistance. In 2022, 51 million white individuals received welfare, more than triple the number of Black recipients. Yet the narrative still blames Black folks for “draining the system.” Why?In this episode, we get into:How the post-slavery South gave poor whites their first real shot at economic freedom—and how they chose whiteness over solidarity.Why is it more convenient to punch down than to challenge the wealthy elites pulling the strings?Whether we should still be courting these voters or cutting our losses.With special guest Marquis Lupton, we explore the deep roots of racialized class politics, media-fueled division, and whether there’s still room for coalition

In our first episode of We Vote Too, we look at the Democratic Party’s current strategy and ask if it’s working.
