00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:08,720
Speaker 1: I know? What does that do?

4
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:09,559
Speaker 3: More?

00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 4: looking to dive in even further on being more better

9
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:35,520
Speaker 4: at civic duty. With the election under a week away,

10
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 4: Stephanie and I wanted to put even more emphasis on

11
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 4: the power of your vote. It's up to us to

12
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 4: create the change we want to see, which brings us

13
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 4: back to an episode from weeks ago when we spoke

14
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 4: with Elsa Collins, professional doer, mom, humanitarian, founder of Poldaristas

15
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 4: and this is about humanity. Time flew by when we

16
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 4: spoke to Elsa, and we only got to share a

17
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 4: portion of our convo with you. So today we're going

18
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 4: to share even more. Enjoy the listen, and see at

19
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:06,960
Speaker 4: the polls more better.

20
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 2: You know. I thought the sweatshirt because I was like,

21
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 2: this is cool.

22
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 5: It is a cool Kleina Strata sweatshirt, has a cool

23
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 5: heart on it.

24
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 2: I will wear it.

25
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 5: I will, you know, I'll look like a cool mom,

26
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 5: not like a regular mom. And then what ends up

27
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 5: happening in it is that I put it on and

28
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 5: I'm like, I look.

29
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 2: Like a sack of potatoes. I would a sack.

30
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 5: It is literally the color of burlap. Anyway, don't make

31
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 5: these mistakes.

32
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 2: Guys. Welcome to More Better, a podcast.

33
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 6: Where we stop pretending to have it all together and embrace.

34
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 4: The journey of becoming a little more better every day.

35
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 2: I just blanked.

36
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 4: I was talking about the sweatshirt. Anyway, I got this

37
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 4: and that's Stephanie Bietric.

38
00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 3: Yeah. Here we are.

39
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 4: We're just really doing it, you guys, thanks for tuning

40
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 4: in once again to the Shenanigans.

41
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: Here.

42
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 6: How you doing, Steph, I'm you know, yeh uh.

43
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 5: You know what bombs me out is that that was

44
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 5: not a cheap sweatshirt. I was like, I'm buying this

45
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 5: sweatshirt because this sweatshirt is going to do it for me.

46
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 2: All right, be cool, relaxed, cool.

47
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 5: Mom, it's not you want it, I'll give it to you.

48
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 5: You know, it has a very cool drawstring on the front.

49
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 4: When you said about the burlap color, I have to

50
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 4: say nothing stresses me out more than trying to shop

51
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 4: within the beige family because when you hit the bright color,

52
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 4: it is looks so cool and then sometimes you don't

53
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 4: is it like.

54
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 5: And here's a question for women with brown skin, and

55
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 5: you know, write us.

56
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 2: Is it? Is it the brown skin?

57
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 5: Is it the tones that differing tones inside variations of

58
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 5: brown skin? I mean, I cannot a camel trench coat, no, girlfriend,

59
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 5: I look like a thumb.

60
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 2: I was a big big when I'm in a camel

61
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 2: camel coat of any kind. All the blogs was like, camel,

62
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 2: it looks so cool. It looks bad on me. Man,

63
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 2: It's bad.

64
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, Like it like washes me out in a weird way.

65
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,839
Speaker 5: It's it's I think I unlocked it. That's why this

66
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 5: looks not good on me. This is why they would

67
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 5: look great on a darker brown skin, yes, woman, or

68
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 5: perhaps a lighter like a peach. But this isn't for

69
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 5: me anyway.

70
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 2: How are you? What do you do this week that

71
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 2: was more better? Or today or whatever?

72
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: Oh?

73
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 4: You know what I'm doing that's a little more better.

74
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 4: But also it's not completely by choice. Is it's the

75
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:47,839
Speaker 4: last week of school.

76
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: For my child.

77
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 4: There's a lot of things to keep track of, and

78
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 4: I am I'm on it wow, hyper focused on making

79
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 4: sure all the things get done this week. But I

80
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 4: also feel like I'm forced into that situation.

81
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 2: Yeah.

82
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 4: Interesting, right, Like I didn't sign up for a managerial

83
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 4: position here, but somehow I've managed to be one. Yeah,

84
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 4: it just sort of happens. What are you doing this week?

85
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 4: That's more better, mamitor.

86
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 2: Let's see, we did make out.

87
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: It was nice.

88
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 2: We haven't done that in a very long time for you.

89
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 2: It was nice.

90
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 5: You know, it's hard to find time to make out.

91
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 5: It is like old school, high school style. Yeah, it's

92
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 5: really you know, a little over the clothes grab.

93
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 2: Sorry. Parents, if you're listening.

94
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 4: To this with your kids, sorry about that, but you

95
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 4: should educate them about sex and consent. Anyway, anyway, anyway,

96
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 4: more better. What are we talking about today, Steph? What

97
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 4: are we talking about today? Melissa?

98
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 2: That's called a volley You guys have just volleyed that

99
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 2: back she did.

100
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: She was like, I don't feel like doing that.

101
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 2: I do feel like doing what we're talking about today.

102
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 4: Actually, we're talking about something really important today with someone

103
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 4: awesome who we both adore and look up to. I

104
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 4: would say for myself, we're talking about finding causes you

105
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 4: care about and civic duty, you know, like voting has

106
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 4: always been a big deal for me. I voted for

107
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 4: the first time after September eleventh, because that happened to

108
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 4: be the year that I turned eighteen, and so I

109
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 4: just I've always felt really strongly about that. And I

110
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 4: would say to people that I knew that, you know,

111
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 4: decided to sit out a voter something, I would.

112
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: Just be like, well, then you can't complain. If you're

113
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: not going to participate, then you can't complain. Ah ha.

114
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: I literally just put my hands on my hips to

115
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: do that.

116
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,039
Speaker 5: Today with us is Elsa Collins. She is basically a

Speaker 4: know you're super busy, and I really appreciate you making

132
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 4: the time. Yes, give us a little bit of like background,

133
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 4: how you kind of first started, like how you knew

134
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 4: this space was like where you wanted to, like, you know,

135
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 4: focus a lot of your energy and time into.

136
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 3: You know, I would say that my journey to kind

137
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 3: of the space I'm in honestly started when I was young.

138
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 3: My mom was always someone who was taking us to volunteer,

139
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 3: and then I think that when I started having kids,

140
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 3: it kind of was reborn within me. It really clarified

141
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,080
Speaker 3: for me at least, like what is my purpose in

142
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 3: this world? What was my purpose and my responsibility to

143
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 3: others in my community. But it came from having kids

144
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 3: and feeling like I needed to really get focused on

145
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 3: how I was going to make this world kind of

146
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 3: a better place. I think, you know, twenty sixteen was

147
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 3: a really hard year for so many people, and for me,

148
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 3: it was really the catalyst for thinking about this as

149
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 3: actually as a profession and saying, you know what I'm

150
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 3: going to I'm going to start a consulting company where

151
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 3: we really focus on issues that matter and think about

152
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 3: how people are using their voice and using their platform.

153
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,559
Speaker 3: Because you know, it was a time where I didn't

154
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 3: know where what was going to happen in this country,

155
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 3: what was going to happen with my kids. As you said,

156
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 3: like I'm raising three kids or multi racial, multi lingual,

157
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 3: and in a in a at a time where that

158
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 3: may not have been you know, looked at as a

159
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 3: as a good thing. You know, it's like a double whammy.

160
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 3: They're they're half Mexican and half black, and and and

161
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 3: I thought, okay, I need to be as as much

162
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 3: of an advocate for for them and for their existence

163
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 3: as a whole. And that kind of was really what

164
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 3: motivated me to look at this as something that I

165
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 3: would do, you know, as a career.

166
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: That's really cool.

167
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's really cool.

168
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 3: Sometimes you're like, I don't know what my role is

169
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 3: in this space, and and honestly that the first and

170
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,959
Speaker 3: easiest role is as a mother, and it's how we're

171
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 3: raising our kids, and how we're exposing our kids to

172
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,199
Speaker 3: sort of obviously in an age appropriate way, but things

173
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 3: that matter and things that are important. When we look

174
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 3: at what is the biggest predictor of what makes a

175
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:59,079
Speaker 3: voter a voter, it's if their parents voted. So it

176
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 3: starts like us, and so I want to say that

177
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 3: you know, we may someone may listen to this and

178
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 3: finish the whole conversation and be like, oh my god,

179
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 3: there was so many things. I don't know what it's like. Honestly,

180
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 3: even if you're you're an auntie, you're like someone who's

181
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 3: in the village of somebody else, or you're a parent

182
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 3: village of somebody else, or you're a parent yourself, Like

183
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 3: you are having a very important role in creating like

184
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 3: the next generation of change makers, upstanders, people who are

185
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 3: going to say things, people who are going to like

186
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 3: know what to do and know how to act, and

187
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 3: so everybody who listens to this can start right there.

188
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's huge, it's huge, and it's part of like

189
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 5: that that responsibility or that.

190
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 2: I don't know, gift.

191
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 5: It really feels like a gift to be able to

192
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 5: vote for who you want to be in power, making laws,

193
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 5: making choices, making changes. Not everybody gets that gift, right,

194
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 5: And like, my parents lived in the United States for

195
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 5: a long time before they were allowed to have that

196
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 5: gift because they weren't US citizens. And when I became

197
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 5: a US citizen, it was like, Okay, this is huge

198
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 5: because I could see how much it meant to my

199
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 5: parents to be able to vote, you know, it was

200
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 5: a huge huge, huge thing the first time that they

201
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 5: got to do it, and subsequently it's been huge for

202
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 5: me every time since, you know, because I could see

203
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 5: that it meant so much to them to be able

204
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 5: to take part in something that was the vote for

205
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 5: their representatives in the United States.

206
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 4: More more.

207
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 5: Sometimes I think people can feel like they're voiceless or

208
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 5: what they want isn't accessible, but on a reachable level,

209
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 5: it really is, like it is reachable. You can enact

210
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 5: change in your community simply by taking the time to

211
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,239
Speaker 5: just a little time to get to know the candidates

212
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 5: in your community, get to know them on a state level,

213
00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 5: get to know them on a.

214
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 4: United States level, and voting yeah, and that and that too.

215
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:09,439
Speaker 4: Like I've I've tried to be much better at more

216
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 4: better at uh, you know, educating myself about local candidates too,

217
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 4: because I feel like that is really what affects like

218
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 4: your day to day life, and it wasn't something I

219
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 4: thought about as much as a young person. It's just

220
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 4: always focused on like the bigger elections, you know. And

221
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 4: but now I think, as you said, Elsa, like since

222
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 4: I've become a parent, I'm more focused on and it

223
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 4: just you know, it doesn't take long. It's just like

224
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 4: sitting down, making a little time to just like get

225
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:44,199
Speaker 4: online and just like learn about who the local candidates

226
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,719
Speaker 4: are and like what they stand for, what their platform is,

227
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 4: like read the blurb, read the thing you know, and

228
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 4: then it makes you know when you get that, you

229
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 4: get to that booth and you got all those names,

230
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 4: so much.

231
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 2: Lessons, so many names, so many names.

232
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 5: The second circame what yeah, yeah, but we're so lucky

233
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 5: because the Internet any tips elsa, I mean, for me,

234
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 5: it's usually like you know, I'm I'm I look for

235
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 5: Oftentimes there's websites that will break it down for you,

236
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 5: like what candidates believe in the stuff that your values

237
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 5: and your vision for your community aligns with, and then

238
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 5: you can sort of see where they stand on different things,

239
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 5: and from there you can vote, as opposed to like

240
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 5: having to sit down and sort of read a giant

241
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 5: you know. I mean, you know we're all very very busy.

242
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 5: We're not I'm i am. I'm barely getting through my

243
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 5: US weekly every week. You know, I'm not trying to

244
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 5: get through like a treatise of what everyone thinks about

245
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 5: every single thing.

246
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 3: So I mean, I would say two things to that.

247
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 3: I would say, first.

248
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 2: Of all, stop reading us weekly.

249
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 3: No, I would say, there are so many people who

250
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 3: spend not even one tenth of the fraction of the

251
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 3: time that we just talked about. We just walk in

252
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 3: and are just like boo boo boo boo boo. Now great.

253
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:09,559
Speaker 3: The reason why I mentioned that is because I don't

254
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 3: want people to feel like if you're not getting a

255
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 3: PhD and poly side, that you are not allowed in

256
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 3: that in that voting booth, you know what I mean.

257
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 3: So like, yeah, very easy. I love ballot Pedia, like

258
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 3: it kind of breaks it down for you. You can look

259
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 3: and it'll tell you put in your address, and it

260
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 3: tells you, Okay, this is what's going to be on

261
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 3: the ballot. And even I mean I have voting like

262
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 3: get togethers, Like even I will get together with our

263
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 3: ballots and we'll go back and forth where we'll be

264
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 3: like yeah, prop whatever, and we'll be like yeah, yeah,

265
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:41,719
Speaker 3: it's yes, right, and then we'll read it and we'll

266
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 3: be like, well, it's actually no, and then you realize

267
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 3: it's written to literally confuse the f out of you,

268
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 3: and you're like why yes, and it sounds like and

269
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,079
Speaker 3: then these people support it, and these people are against it,

270
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 3: and you're just like, oh my gosh. So I would

271
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 3: say it's always a good idea to look at. You're

272
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 3: always gonna have a friend who's like way more politics

273
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 3: and you I like looking at their sample ballot. Now,

274
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 3: I'm not going to take that and literally just go verbatim,

275
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 3: but some people do. And then I'll sort of look

276
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,560
Speaker 3: and look at like ballot PD, I'll look at a

277
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 3: couple different sources. Some of the you know, whatever party

278
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,319
Speaker 3: affiliation you are, they will usually put out sort of

279
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 3: like a recommended you know, voter's guide. So I'm pulling

280
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 3: from like three or four sources to kind of come

281
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 3: to a compilation. But I would say in every election,

282
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 3: there's obviously going to be more important issues or seemingly

283
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 3: more important issues are on the ballot. You know, obviously

284
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 3: coming up in this election, we have women's reproductive health

285
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 3: is on the ballot in a couple of states. Obviously

286
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 3: it's it's a presidential election that's coming up, which is big.

287
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 3: But as Melissa mentioned, there's going to be smaller amendments

288
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 3: that are on the ballot, propositions, things that are happening

289
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 3: literally in the county that you live in, that can

290
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 3: greatly affect your life. Your public schools, you know, how

291
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 3: money gets distributed, how we improve you know, our highways

292
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 3: or freeways or so. There's a lot of things that

293
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 3: are happening at a local level that I think, to

294
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 3: your guys's point, may affect your everyday life more than

295
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 3: kind of what's up here. But I think you know,

296
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 3: knowing that you can pull from different sources. You don't

297
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 3: have to feel like the smartest person in the world

298
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 3: to go in and do it. But knowing kind of

299
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 3: where you sit and sort of your general belief system,

300
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 3: I think is a good thing to have with you,

301
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 3: and that's really all you need. Honestly.

302
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 6: That's so good though.

303
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 4: That's I never feel like the smartest person in the

304
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 4: world when I go anywhere, so that's great. Just feel

305
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 4: normal going into the voting book.

306
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 1: I love it.

307
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 4: Sometimes I get nervous. Do you guys ever get nervous

308
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 4: when you go in there. I'm like, oh, yeah, as

309
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 4: my fingers on the pulse of everything right now, yeah, yeah,

310
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 4: at that moment.

311
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 2: But I guess it kind of is.

312
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 4: I mean, maybe that's why I get nervous, because it

313
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,120
Speaker 4: is a very cool, big deal that we get to

314
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 4: do that.

315
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 3: Well, it's interesting because Mexico just had their election, and

316
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 3: you know, they and this was the first time that

317
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 3: people abroad could vote so at all the consulates, at

318
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 3: all the Mexican consulates, there was like hours long lines

319
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 3: for people who were trying to vote. I think people

320
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 3: in Paris were waiting up to like six hours. In

321
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 3: La the line was about three hours. But two things

322
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 3: that really made me sort of reflect on it was

323
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 3: a we hold our elections on a I say we

324
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 3: because I'm a dual citizen. But we hold our elections

325
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 3: on a Sunday, where it's easy for people to go vote.

326
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 3: It's not that easy here in the United States. You know,

327
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 3: the elections on a Tuesday. We don't know how late

328
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 3: the you know the boot's going to be open. So

329
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 3: you know, part of why it's really important to vote

330
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 3: is because sometimes there are people who try to make

331
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 3: it harder for people to vote. Working people, people who

332
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 3: have multiple jobs, they don't necessarily know where their election is.

333
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 3: Can they vote outside of their district? You know, how

334
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 3: easy are we making it so? So that's one of

335
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 3: the things that I really appreciated about the election yesterday

336
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 3: was it was on a Sunday. People know how important

337
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:19,399
Speaker 3: it is. I mean, they waited in that line, and

338
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 3: we want to make sure that in our election coming

339
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:23,639
Speaker 3: up in November that the same thing has happened, that

340
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 3: people really take advantage of what is such a privilege

341
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 3: to do in this democratic society and to not have

342
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 3: anybody make them feel like they're not worth it, They're

343
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:40,679
Speaker 3: not worthy and they don't deserve the access, and that

344
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,639
Speaker 3: they they were able to do it in a safe,

345
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 3: in a safe way.

346
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 6: One hundred percent. Yeah, it's so important.

347
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 3: So like for all my gen and I don't know

348
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 3: what the generation of eighteen to twenty four year olds

349
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 3: is called right now, generation cucumber a gen because not

350
00:17:56,560 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 3: a health is already I don't know. I don't know

351
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 3: what comes after Alpha, but something, you know, I think that,

352
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 3: like I look at them and I think, guess what,

353
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 3: people like you guys, you're amazing because you can amplify

354
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,160
Speaker 3: a certain type of situation and help more people find

355
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:20,920
Speaker 3: things out. But when you look at actual influence, the

356
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:24,679
Speaker 3: person who's on that group chat of seventeen people who's

357
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:28,360
Speaker 3: like their friend groups, not Alpha, but just the person

358
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 3: who makes suggestions or is encouraging or whatever that's the person.

359
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 3: So I'm hoping that person sees you and thinks, Okay,

360
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 3: I'm going to influence my circle of friends that we're

361
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:39,680
Speaker 3: all going to go vote this year. Like maybe we're

362
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 3: not that excited, maybe it doesn't seem sexy, maybe it's

363
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:47,640
Speaker 3: like not on top of mind, or they're not feeling

364
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 3: like it's so important, but because they heard you guys

365
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,400
Speaker 3: talk about like, hey, you know what, we were kind

366
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 3: of this is the way we found our civic engagement voice.

367
00:18:58,040 --> 00:18:59,679
Speaker 3: This is kind of the thing that we're doing, and

368
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:01,919
Speaker 3: like we want to just make sure you guys know

369
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 3: about it because, like, guess what, it really does matter

370
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,439
Speaker 3: because you're all the things and all the rights that

371
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 3: are at risk. And that person goes and tells her friend, well,

372
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 3: that's that's the power. That individual person, this individual person

373
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,439
Speaker 3: listening right now has all the power.

374
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 5: I agree. I agree with that one hundred percent. I

375
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 5: was talking to a friend the other day and she

376
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 5: specifically said she was like, I don't know, you know,

377
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:29,679
Speaker 5: it just feels like I'm I'm just left with that

378
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:31,200
Speaker 5: all the choices are bad, so.

379
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,640
Speaker 2: Why would I even go?

380
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:38,439
Speaker 5: And I'm like, babe, the no, nothing is perfect, nothing

381
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 5: right now is perfect. You can look around and see

382
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 5: that it's not, but it it. It's such a big

383
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 5: deal for you to go. It's such a big deal

384
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 5: for you to go and make your choices known and

385
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:54,399
Speaker 5: make your voice heard, because like everybody's voices add up

386
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:58,640
Speaker 5: to this, like cacophony of citizens saying this is who

387
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 5: we choose, this is what we want. We were interested

388
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 5: in seeing these changes in our society. We want this

389
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:06,879
Speaker 5: to happen. We want these groups to be protected, we

390
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 5: want this to be safer, we want this, that and

391
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 5: the other. It's like, if you're just going to sit

392
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 5: back and not do it because none of the choices

393
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:16,400
Speaker 5: are sexy, wow.

394
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:17,879
Speaker 2: Then you can't keep playing. You know, I'm not just

395
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 2: on a day to day basis.

396
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 3: What I would add to that is, I think also

397
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 3: some people feel like, well, whoever ends up in any

398
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 3: election being the winner, Like, my life's really not going

399
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,239
Speaker 3: to change. But the truth is that somebody's life is

400
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:39,120
Speaker 3: going to change. Somebody's life will be really permanently affected.

401
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 3: So like, if you don't feel that compelled for you,

402
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 3: look to your most vulnerable friend and think about what

403
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 3: they may have at risk. You know, if you don't

404
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 3: like show up for them. So I would just encourage people.

405
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 2: It's a great way to put it out. So I love

406
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 2: that so much, you know, and your most vulnerable friend

407
00:20:57,920 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 2: think about that.

408
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 3: Think about your most vulnerable friend or community member. But

409
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 3: some of the orgs that I love that are doing

410
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 3: great work in the space, you know, Like I am

411
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 3: a voter. If you want like reminders, you know, you

412
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 3: can text friends to two six seven ninety seven and

413
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 3: you'll get all of your voting reminders on your cell phone.

414
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 3: You won't have to go on the internet and find

415
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 3: things out. Headcounts a great org. If you're not registered,

416
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:25,119
Speaker 3: get registered. Look at our friendship that was born out

417
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:30,120
Speaker 3: of love of democracy and has now has transcended that

418
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:34,360
Speaker 3: into like motherhood and other things. And so you can

419
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,239
Speaker 3: find your people there. You can find people in these

420
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 3: spaces that are fun to be around.

421
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can build community.

422
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 4: And like you were saying in the beginning too, you're

423
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 4: also like, what a beautiful example for your children to

424
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,920
Speaker 4: see and watch. Yeah, and I think that's really important

425
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 4: and really beautiful kind of even family tradition to be

426
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 4: like passing on like your mom gave to you.
