Suara Kudeta

Faye Simanjuntak, founder of Rumah Faye—an independent organization aiming to free Indonesian children from trafficking, abuse, and exploitation—and co-founder of a more recent venture, What Is Up Indonesia, sat down with us to have a long conversation about many things. We started with her gap year experiences and how the pandemic affected her initial plans, her stressful work/life balance and her advice for others, digital activism, willful ignorance, reasons for starting NGOs, and more. Unwind by listening to this chaotic episode and witness a true Leo-Aries encounter as we dive deeper into the nature of youth changemaker-ism and touch on mental health and hustle culture.

Why is everyone taking to the streets? The controversial jobs law has been recently passed by the government, and it's an urgent time to be talking about it. We sat down with Margianta, a youth activist who is a part of Amnesty Indonesia and Emancipate Indonesia, to know more about why there's so much buzz right now in the media and how we can navigate it. This episode is a great balance between the political and the personal as we touched on Gian's thoughts of the Omnibus Law, why it's so significant and what it means for everyone, protesting, and the meaning of activism as well as being vocal online as a young person.
