197: Election Special: Want to be an ally? Vote!

Today's episode addresses why voting is not just a right that individuals should exercise; it is also a democratic measure of collective accountability. I sit down with…myself and confront my fears and hopes this election season. While progress is never consistent nor linear, this episode examines how Trump's presidency and the subsequent shifts in the political climate have brought into view existential questions like what it means to be a citizen of this country and what is required to feel like one belongs. Left with more questions than answers, Immigrantly nevertheless wants to encourage everyone who can vote because civil liberties are on the line.
