In May 2021, "Shaping Our Future" brought more than 600 young people together from across the country to discuss their insights on major societal issues our country is facing today. They discussed these issues in small groups, listened to panel experts offer their thoughts, and interacted with each other regardless of whether or not they agreed on the subject matter.
From the team that brought you Voices of America In One Room, this is Voices of Shaping Our Future.
In this special episode of the podcast, we have the privilege of sitting down with a group of thought leaders for a roundtable discussion about economic inequality and how it affects our everyday lives.
The conversation features Rajan Nathaniel, Chief of Staff and Policy Advisor to Mayor Kevin Lincoln in Stockton, CA; Rachel Gentry, the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation's Finance Fellow who currently works for Representative Steven Horsford of Nevada; Yakov Feygin, the Associate Director in the Berggruen Institute's "Future of Capitalism" program, and; Alice Siu, Associate Director at the Center for Deliberative Democracy at Stanford University.
The group begins its discussion with our panelists' individual thoughts on what economic inequality means to them, and how it impacts the world around us. The conversation continues with an exploration of the various policy proposals — namely minimum wage and universal basic income — that the participants of "Shaping Our Future" discussed earlier in the podcast season.

Last season, we heard from the participants of “America In One Room,” a landmark deliberative experiment that brought together more than 500 registered U.S. voters to discuss the most talked about societal issues affecting us today. The age range of participants ran the gamut, and we heard many interesting perspectives from our podcast guests.
For the second season of this podcast, we decided to focus on the 18–29 age cohort. Our "Shaping Our Future" event" was tailored to those who have never (or not) enrolled in post secondary education, currently enrolled students, and recent graduates. In this completely virtual event, we brought together more than 600 participants from all across the country. Over the course of two days, we discussed the electoral college, national service, and economic inequality.
Like last season, a new episode will be published each week. For more information about our sponsors, please visit their websites:

Imagine being a part of a large group of people, all with differing points of view, socio-economic beliefs, and backgrounds. Now imagine you were asked to discuss a variety of important issues, such as the economy, the environment, and immigration. In September of 2019, a total of 526 registered American voters were brought together to discuss important issues that impact all of us. Participants were respectful, addressed each talking point more objectively, and simply approached these issues as individuals who are being impacted by them daily. These are the Voices of America in One Room.
From The Center for Deliberative Democracy at Stanford University, this is Voices of America in One Room. Join us this season as we revisit experiences from the event, and talk about important social issues that impact us all. Subscribe today on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Google Podcasts.
