What does civic engagement look like today—and how do we show up without burning out?

In this episode, Alyzza and Lorryn are talking about what it means to be an active member of your community in 2025. From voting and volunteering to brunch PSAs and block cleanups, civic duty is getting a remix. Plus, we sit down with Councilman Miguel Jones to unpack the difference between gentrification and reinvestment, why local politics hits hardest, and how we all have a role to play—whether you're organizing town halls or just picking up trash on your block.

Also in the mix:

– Our take on the NYC mayoral primary & Gen Z’s power at the polls

– A PSA for the YNs doing too much on a Monday

– And yes, a little Meg Thee Stallion praise session 🐎🔥
