from Around the Districts Podcast · host aroundthedistricts

Arizona’s youth vote can decide elections—and it can disappear. In Part 1 of our conversation, Jacob George (founder + executive director of Unity Rising USA) lays out what he’s building: a student-led chapter model designed to counter Turning Point USA’s campus pipeline, cut through the jargon, and connect politics back to working-class survival.
