Mad AND Mobilized: Political Burnout, Midterm Power & Accountability with Brittany Packnett Cunningham
Relationsh*t with Kamie CrawfordShow Notes
Besties - at this point the political climate feels less like a democracy and more like a very toxic relationship we can’t seem to break free from. Between the political chaos, social media, and the general feeling that the world is on fire… it’s high time we have a little talk. This week, we’re joined by political strategist, activist and host of the Undistracted podcast, Brittany Packnett Cunningham for a very real conversation about the current political clusterf*ck in the U.S. and why “I’m sorry I voted for this” just isn’t cutting it anymore. From late stage activism and performative apologies to the importance of organizing, voting and actually doing the work - Brittany breaks down why guilt without action is simply a waste of everyone’s time. We also dive into the exhausting state of the internet, why midterms matter, and the many ways you can show up for your community right now (for free). If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, confused or just plain tired - take a number. Because now more than ever, it’s time to lock back in.
