Brad sits down with Max from UNFTR to tackle a pressing question: What does a bold, progressive platform look like after 2024?

They critically examine the Democratic Party’s lack of a cohesive narrative in the wake of the election and propose a new vision built on five non-negotiables:

• Housing First

• Civilian Labor Corps

• Medicare for All

• Election Integrity

• Climate Action

These pillars are presented as essential to creating a more inclusive, human-centered society—one that’s prepared to confront the challenges of AI displacement, economic inequality, and the climate crisis.

Max also unpacks the economic and societal benefits of these priorities, calling for a united, grassroots effort to re-establish a progressive agenda. The conversation explores the ways organized religion intersects with socio-economic policy and how those links can either hinder or help meaningful change.
