In this second episode of The Imperfect Activist, we take a raw and honest look at what’s happening across the globe from ongoing wars and rising authoritarianism to political power shifts like the continued influence of Donald Trump. But we’re not just listing headlines—we’re asking: What do these events mean for young people?
As youth activists in 2025, we feel the gap between our values and the decisions made by those in power growing wider. This episode is a deep dive into the frustration, urgency, and responsibility we feel in the face of global unrest. From Gaza to Ukraine, from climate inaction to growing disillusionment with traditional politics, we’re unpacking the emotional and political toll it takes on our generation, and what it means to show up imperfectly, but intentionally.
