UNFLTRD THOUGHTS: POST ELECTION
Show Notes

Our votes have been cast, our ballots have been counted, the new President-elect and VP have been announced and the world can finally let out a collective sigh...temporarily.

On this week's Unfltrd Thoughts, we sit down with Arij Mikati, an activist and anti-racism educator, to discuss where do we go from here post election.

A projected 161 million Americans voted in the 2020 elections - a nail biting, stress induced presidential race that resulted in Biden becoming President-elect and Kamala Harris as the first Black, South Asian female President. 

Now what? Our goal of kicking Trump out resulted in us voting for individuals who we may not be that fond of their histories and prior policies. 

In this conversation we discuss key points such as how the voting results reflected how we, the people, are truly in power, how do we hold Biden/Harris accountable, what do we do about both of these candidates endorsing AIPAC and how do we challenge their support of the illegal occupation of Palestine?
