The Gen Z Activist Taking On Outrage Culture

from The Chris Cuomo Project · host Chris Cuomo

Gen Z activist Manu Meel, co-founder and CEO of BridgeUSA, a student-led nonprofit that trains young people to hold civil, moderated discussions across political divides, joins Chris Cuomo to explain how his generation is fighting political polarization by turning outrage into conversation. Meel says young Americans—raised on algorithms and anger—are ready for something new, building more than 100 college chapters devoted to structured dialogue and civic engagement. Cuomo challenges whether bridge-building can survive in a social-media world that rewards rage, while Meel argues that exhaustion with constant conflict is creating an opening for empathy and debate to go viral. Together they explore how the next generation might reclaim discourse, one conversation at a time Follow and subscribe to The Chris Cuomo Project on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube for new episodes every Tuesday and Thursday: https://linktr.ee/cuomoproject Join Chris Ad-Free On Substack: http://thechriscuomoproject.substack.com Support our sponsors: http://kalshi.com/?utm_source=chriscuomo Upgrade your wardrobe and save on @trueclassic at https://trueclassic.com/CUOMO! #trueclassicpod Get firearm security redesigned and save 15% off @StopBoxUSA with code CUOMO at https://stopboxusa.com/CUOMO #stopboxpod If you’re ready to turn down the stress, and focus on the rest, head to https://drinkag1.com/CCP to get a FREE Frother with your first purchase of AGZ.
