Featuring guests Mark Hemmingdinger and Pat Selzer, along with voices from protesters across Central New York, the conversation explores family engagement in activism, the importance of youth participation, and the emotional landscape of standing up for democratic values. From heartfelt stories of resilience to the humor and honesty of the Death Cafe segment, the episode connects the fight for justice with deeper reflections on life, death, and what it means to live purposefully in turbulent times.
