We discuss the diaspora vote, expectations for Sunday's parliamentary elections, and the mission that bonds the three of us.

Our conversation includes the pursuit of justice, building trust for newer names and groups demanding change, and the familiar terrain that pushes many Lebanese citizens to vote for well-established parties.

We also talk about the needed consequence for failure, and the silence that brings a nation together.

Paul & Tracy Naggear are political activists and the parents of Alexandra "Lexou" Naggear.
