Welcome the season two of How to Citizen with Baritune Day. Where we believe in citizen as a verb, where we show up, where we participate in our democracy, invest in our relationships, know our power. All that's really nice to say and so hard to do when we're as divided as we are, when folks are literally storming the US cabinet. So many ways we could talk about this division. Why can't Republicans and Democrats get along? Should we have a beer,

Volks are like, oh my god, you are going to give black woman money? What I like? Why not? Now I'm not an economist, but I do know that wealth inequality is tearing us apart, and it's preventing us from living in the democracy we all want. So where are the solutions. Who's creating wealth that isn't
powered by racism? It just felt like there was something terribly wrong with the way that politics was narrating the stories of the lives of the people around me. Who's making it easier for me not to give all my money to Jeff Bezos. We're gonna have a real fight on our hands about whether we live in a country where Amazon decides how our economy works, and who's making sure people aren't working three jobs just to pay rent getting dollars of dead canceled.
