pushing politics w/ Emily Lowan

"Fight the oligarchs, fund our future."
Online culture, grassroots organizing, and provincial politics collide in this episode of Social Sleuth. I sit down with Emily Lowan, leader of the BC Green Party, to talk about her leadership campaign, the evolution of internet culture, and what happens when online energy meets the realities of the democratic process.
Emily walks us through the challenges of the new member verification process, the balance between online accessibility and democratic integrity, and how the BC Greens operate as a movement vehicle working alongside other social movements. We also get into the urgent issue of AI data centres and the case for a moratorium, the push to lower the voting age, the alarming trend of US billionaires buying up BC farmland, and why a wealth tax on billionaires could help fund the services people actually need.
A grounded look at what it takes to turn online political engagement into grassroots organizing, transparency, and real democratic action.
