In this episode, journalist Heather Blakeslee and former Facebook employee Cody Hill share their thoughts and perspectives for an important conversation on censorship. In the wake of UnityNow's own run-in with the Powers that Be, is the corporate suppression of deemed misinformation going too far? Is it a necessary tool for today’s incendiary political environment, or is it simply fanning the flames? Moreover, what underlying actors and incentives are creating this problem to begin with, and how much is the polarizing nature of social media to blame? Throughout this free-flowing and nuanced conversation, Blakslee, Hill, and UnityNow's Toby Davis explore what we can do to truly improve our situation, from investing in local journalism to rebuild the Fourth Estate, to pursuing and promoting more good faith conversations à la Braver Angels, to working to change the culture around how we have disagreements.

UnityNow's Toby Davis sits down with Blair Walshingham, Deputy Director and Volunteer Coordinator of the nascent Forward Party, to ask the tough questions about the new, Andrew Yang-led effort. Where do they stand on the issues? How do they view their own weaknesses? And will they be making any runs in 2022? We also discuss her own journey, from growing up in a conservative household, to winning a Democratic Congressional primary in her deep-red district, to helping to lead the duopoly-breaking charge. All that, plus the results of her Eastern Tennessee UBI experiment! Connect with UnityNow!

UnityNow's Toby Davis sits down with Matt Tune and Louisa Clary, founders of the Washington, D.C. Defeat the Mandates March. The two share stories of how they got to be involved with the group, and how they hope to make their January 23rd event a unifying effort, from appealing to vaccinated and unvaccinated alike, to bringing in representatives from BLM and groups across the political spectrum, to their plans for deescalating if trouble should start. This free-flowing conversation also dives into the history and politics of the vaccine mandates, to understand the special interests in play, their impacts on legislation and coverage, and whether the mandates pushed by the current administration really reflect the will of the people.
