Welcome, Back Vibe Tribe!

We hope you all are having a great end of summer, and now the start of the fall season.

Today, we bring you "Political Awareness", in which we discuss the current state of politics in the United States and our feelings on our divided political climate. We get into the sad reality that we are no longer a true democracy but have become an oligarchy and what that means. We discuss the need for continual civic and political engagement to enact the changes we wish to see, starting from the ground up at a local level to a state level, and finally on a national level.

Jana talks about her interest in running to be elected for some political office in the future, but her valid concerns about people trying to buy politicians and the frustrations of money in politics.

We also take a deep dive into a new book that Kacie started reading, and reads from in the episode, entitled " How to Start a Political Revolution: Young People and the Future of American Politics", by author and journalist Lauren Duca.

We talk about how a lot of us wish to enact change and engage in politics, but we just don't know where to begin. This book we discuss helps us understand where to start. And there is so much more...

Please join us in this lively, passionate, and thoughtful episode on the state of American politics today. Stay tuned for more in-depth conversations and future podcast episodes on this topic as we learn more and evolve in our engagement.

We want your viewpoints and opinions on what we discussed today. Please feel free to DM us on our social media accounts or email us directly.

Have a great day!
