Can our elected officials become #GenFairnessChampions?

Generation Squeeze's Hard Truths

In this episode of the Hard Truths podcast, co-hosts Umair Muhammad and Angie Chan chat with Paul Kershaw about the campaign Gen Squeeze recently launched to have elected officials pledge to be #GenFairnessChampions. We discuss what the purpose of the campaign is, why an intergenerational lens would benefit our politics, as well as about the short-term tactics and the long-term strategy Gen Squeeze hopes will help to create a political culture in which generational fairness is taken seriously.

Note: The #GenFairnessChampions campaign launched on October 12. We intended to publish this episode on that day but didn't get it out in time.
