The Renew Democracy Initiative and The Next Move are excited to bring you Older/Wiser with Linda Chavez. Linda is a veteran of multiple presidential administrations, author, and columnist.
Linda speaks with Noah Bopp, founder and head of the School for Ethics and Global Leadership, about educating a younger generation that is navigating politics without the landmarks older Americans once took for granted. Linda and Noah discuss why so few young people believe democracy is working for them, how phones and social media are eroding attention and community, and what it will take — inside and outside of the classroom — to raise leaders who are both ethically grounded and internationally aware.

This week, Linda speaks with Fatima Abo Alasrar, founder of The Ideology Machine on Substack and expert on Iran’s axis of resistance.

In this week’s episode of Older/Wiser, Linda speaks with Walter Olson, legal commentator and senior fellow at the Cato Institute’s Robert A. Levy Center for Constitutional Studies. Linda and Walter discuss the Supreme Court’s recent decision in Louisiana v. Callais, the future of the Voting Rights Act, and the rise of hyper-partisan redistricting battles across the country. They examine how race and party politics have become deeply entangled in efforts to draw and redraw electoral districts, consider the unintended consequences of such efforts, and explore whether Congress still has the power—or the political will—to put a stop to these gerrymandering practices.

On today’s episode, Linda speaks with veteran, immigration attorney, and MacArthur Genius Fellow Margaret Stock. A retired US Army Reserve lieutenant colonel, Margaret explains the plight of Afghan refugees left in limbo after America’s chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021. From bureaucratic failures to the shocking proposal to relocate Afghan refugees to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Linda and Margaret examine how US immigration policy is abandoning those who once worked alongside American troops and discuss what our nation can do better.
Editor’s Note: Since the recording of this episode, the Democratic Republic of the Congo has seen a major ebola outbreak, meaning relocation to the DRC could be a double death sentence for Afghan refugees.
