Our 47th episode welcomes dynamic duo Melissa Sáenz Gordon & Molly Salas of Soft Power Vote: a civic engagement resource that leverages digital, print, and live formats to encourage New Yorkers—and especially millennials and Gen Z—to vote! While just a few days away from the Democratic mayoral primary election in NYC, we’re honored to share the perspectives of two people who have been extremely busy engaging us, and so many of our peers, with crucial information and tools around the urgency of participating in local political infrastructures. This conversation unpacks what brought each of them to this work, some of the eccentricities of election policies and logistics in NYC, and, most importantly, the complexities of navigating the inevitable cynicism of a world in turmoil to act on the belief that we can and must each contribute to shaping and caring for the city we hold so dear.
