From the team that brought you Voices of America In One Room, this is Voices of Shaping Our Future.
Imagine a world where forming policy was less about cutting through red tape, and more about listening to people for building a better tomorrow. Two of the most widely discussed social issues facing our society today center around our CLIMATE and ECONOMIC INEQUALITY. While many people are divided on these issues, and there are a variety of ideas involving how they should be handled, we were curious to know what the younger generation thought about these topics.
In May 2021, more than 600 young people from across the country were brought together online to discuss their insights on these issues in small groups, listen to panel experts answer their questions, and interact with each other regardless of whether or not they agreed on the topics being discussed. In this podcast, we speak with some of those participants and get their thoughts on the conversations they had during the 2021 "Shaping Our Future" event.

Cade and Harrison Talk About National Service and Universal Basic Income
In this episode of Voices of Shaping Our Future, we had the pleasure of talking with Harrison and Cade — two 23-year-old graduate students who participated in our event.
We begin our discussion with Cade and his thoughts on the minimum wage debate, and the idea of national service versus being a more active member within one’s own individual community.
We end our discussion with Harrison and his thoughts on universal basic income being used to help curb economic inequality, and resolving the climate crisis sooner rather than later in order to minimize the impact it’s having on us now and will have on us in the future.
