In this episode of Yapping with YUCCA, our host Feleecia talks with staff members Sofia, Zoey, and Ennedith about the topic on everyone’s minds: the state of the world. We discuss Trump’s cuts to federal funding, DEI initiatives, the democratic party’s disappointing response, and how our movements fight back. We talk about how different sectors of social and environmental justice are coming together to address the existential threats to our communities, and most importantly, how we build community to stay hopeful. We had no script, we just yapped about justice and the world we want to see.
