In this Substack Live conversation, David Pakman speaks with activist Olivia Julianna about her journey from growing up in a conservative Southern Baptist household to becoming a prominent progressive voice and organizer. They discuss the power of local activism, emphasizing the importance of engaging with city councils, school boards, and mutual aid groups as effective tools for change. Olivia also weighs in on Gen Z’s political drift toward the right, especially among young men, attributing it to a combination of economic frustration, cultural identity, and the failure of Democrats to communicate effectively. The conversation closes with a discussion of the challenges faced by independent progressive creators in a media landscape increasingly hostile to dissent, and the value of platforms like Substack that offer direct audience connection and autonomy.
