How can we fight for a better future when we can't get a job and pay the rent?
In this third episode of The Imperfect Activist, we’re digging into two of the biggest stressors facing young people today: the housing crisis and the increasingly bleak job market. From sky-high rent and unlivable wages to unpaid internships and zero-hour contracts, this episode explores how these economic realities are shaping our generation's future and sense of hope.
We unpack the day-to-day realities of navigating adulthood in 2025, where landing a full-time job doesn’t guarantee financial independence, and where renting a room, let alone buying a home, feels out of reach for many. As youth activists, we reflect on how this affects our mental health, our activism, and our long-term dreams — and ask, honestly: Where do we go from here?
