The Blue Vote Café podcast is your window into the world of Democrats Abroad and the issues that face Americans living outside the United States.
Hosts David Schellenberg and Rachel Eugster (from DA Canada) look inward to showcase DA’s caucuses, task forces, and individual leaders and members. And they look outward to explore questions of interest to Americans at home and abroad.
Freya Proudman (DAUK Secretary & Youth Caucus Steering Committee member) drops into the café to talk about building a youth caucus from the ground up. Rejecting the notion that youth engagement is just about free pizza, Freya underlines the importance of offering young people the opportunity to get involved and contribute in myriad ways to the effort of reclaiming the America we love. This conversation touches on:
- The current dearth of DA leaders under the age of 30.
- Why young people are not just our future, but our active present.
- The zine and other grassroots organizing efforts undertaken by DA UK.
- The realities of aging out of - or into - different classifications and leadership opportunities.
