A proposito di questo titolo
Host Liz Purvis welcomes Kyah Creekmore, a 24-year-old Democratic candidate running in North Carolina’s 5th Congressional District primary to take on 20-year Republican incumbent Virginia Foxx.
Creekmore describes the gerrymandered, sprawling 10-county district—largely rural and Appalachian but containing major student populations across campuses like UNC Greensboro, NC A&T, and App State—and argues those students are a growing political force. The conversation covers recent student organizing and marches after the State Board of Elections removed campus polling locations and Sunday voting, which Creekmore frames as youth and Black and brown voter suppression.
He contrasts Gen Z’s realities—low wages, high rents, rising tuition, student debt, and weak job prospects—with older, wealthier political leadership, and emphasizes building a youth movement and mobilizing disengaged voters through lived-experience messaging. The episode ends with a lightning round and ways to support the campaign at KyahCreekmore.org, with Liz noting the race’s importance for rebuilding political power in gerrymandered communities.
