Sara Blessing admits she's scared. As she faces a life arguably full of options and opportunity, the recent graduate of Montana State University and founder of the local chapter of the Sunrise Movement feels disillusioned, angry and, yes, afraid. And the climate crisis, the concern on which she expected to focus her attention and efforts, is the proverbial tip of the iceberg. As she examines the world her forefathers built, she sees environmental decimation, income inequality, discrimination, social injustice, cronyism and a political wasteland directed and bolstered by an aging population that is so concerned with biting the hand that has fed them that they are unable to realize the untenable future they have created for their children. And their children's children. And that, really, is the crux of Blessing's problem: how can she realize her only American Dream – that of having children – when she is bringing them into that selfsame future. In this podcast, Interchange Founder Tate Chamberlin and guest Sara Blessing attempt to reconcile the assumptions and concerns – absolutes and possibilities – surrounding baby boomers' social, political and economic legacy and its impact on generations to come.
