Are you tired of being told that your voice does not matter?
Welcome to Grassroots & Chill, the official podcast of the RESULTS Organizing and Advocacy Fellowship.
For too long, Millennials and Gen Z have been completely sidelined in policy conversations. From legislative chambers to international summits, the decisions that shape our climate, our economies, and our collective future are often made by people who will not have to live with the consequences. It is incredibly easy to feel entirely disconnected and believe that impacting the government is impossible.
Grassroots & Chill is here to shatter that myth.
We are flipping the script on advocacy and civic engagement. Each episode dives deep into the realities of modern policymaking and explores exactly how organizers across the countries are forcing their way to the table or building their own table. This podcast explores how movements are successfully translating digital and protest mobilization into meaningful policy impact within formal political systems.
What to Expect
Unfiltered Perspectives: Hear from young advocates who are taking on massive systemic issues and actually winning.
Demystifying Policy: We break down complex government systems into digestible, everyday language.
Real Talk, Real Strategy: No fluff and no talking points. We share proven grassroots tactics that you can apply in you to drive tangible change.
Whether you are a seasoned activist or just starting to figure out how to make a difference, grab your headphones and join the movement. It is time to reclaim our political power, shape our own future, and prove that our generations are the ultimate force for change. We are not future leaders, we are already leaders.

TB Should be History By Now
Tuberculosis was curable more than 80 years ago. So why did it kill over a million people last year?
In this episode we dig into why the world's oldest treatable disease is still one of its deadliest killers, from gaps in diagnosis and funding to the isolation and stigma surrounding the disease. We also break down the End TB Now Act, a piece of legislation aimed at renewing American leadership in the global fight to end TB by 2030, and what it could mean for funding, research, and treatment access worldwide.
If you've ever wondered how a curable disease can still be a leading global killer, this episode is for you.

Four Moms, One Reality
Four moms come together for an honest conversation about what it really takes to feed and care for a family. They share their experiences with SNAP, WIC, rising grocery costs, household expenses, and the constant decisions families make when there is not enough money to cover everything. Their stories may be different, but the reality is the same: raising a family requires more than hard work, and programs like SNAP and WIC can make the difference between getting by and going without.
Join Candace Baker, Lindsay Saunders, Tiffany Tagbo, and Yolanda Gordon for an honest conversation about the challenges of motherhood when the safety net designed to support families is being cut away.

Young People are Paying Attention
In the first episode of Grassroots and Chill, hosts Emi Iribarren and Tiffany Tagbo kick off the RESULTS Organizing and Advocacy Fellowship podcast with a conversation about the Spring 2026 Harvard Youth Poll. The poll includes 10 key takeaways about how young Americans are feeling about the economy, politics, elections, trust in government, and their future. Young people are not apathetic. They are exhausted, overcharged, underheard, and still paying attention.
Harvard 2026 Youth Poll: https://iop.harvard.edu/youth-poll/52nd-edition-spring-2026#key-takeaway--id--3029 (https://iop.harvard.edu/youth-poll/52nd-edition-spring-2026#key-takeaway--id--3029)
Emi and Tiffany will discuss select key takeaways from the poll, including what young people are saying about inflation, housing costs, political leadership, and whether they feel heard by decision-makers. This episode connects the data to real-life advocacy and explores why young people are not checked out, they are paying attention, organizing, and ready to be part of the solution.
