🎙️ THIS WEEK ON THE FREE SPEECH ZONE:

The boys are back on the couch, and this week we’re getting into the most controversial topic of all: voting.

We’re talking:
• Is voting actually worth it?
• Is not-voting a protest or just letting everyone else decide?
• Why do local elections matter?
• What’s even on the ballot?
• Why are we suddenly comparing voting to getting abs?

A big thanks to our sponsor for this episode for supporting the conversation and helping us get more people informed and engaged.

Need to know what’s on your ballot, where to vote, or who’s running? Check out Vote411.org for nonpartisan voter resources and election information.

Indigenous Peoples’ Day 🪶 Today we honor the history, resilience, and leadership of Indigenous communities, past and present.

“My hope for the United States of Women is for sacred connectedness today and in the future.” — Sarah Eagle Heart

That connectedness shows up in how we care for each other, how we show up in our communities, and how we participate in our democracy.
