I’m excited to welcome back my friend and political activist, Darcy McKenzie. Over the years, as our friendship has grown, we’ve witnessed and reflected on some major milestone moments in history. Darcy lives near the very street corner where George Floyd lost his life, and her advocacy began on local school boards before expanding into key roles supporting both local and national Democratic candidates. She’s a key player in the DFL (Democratic Farmer-Labor) Party, working to advance affirmative action, outreach, and inclusion at every level of government.

In this episode, we dive into the political landscape, discussing Vice Presidential candidate Tim Walz and the Kamala Harris campaign. Darcy has campaigned for an impressive range of candidates, including Muslim Attorney General Keith Ellison, Representative Ilhan Omar, Jewish Secretary of State Steve Simon, and LGBTQ Representative Angie Craig. She’s also been a strong advocate for women leaders, supporting Senators Amy Klobuchar and Tina Smith, as well as Representatives Betty McCollum and Kelly Morrison. And while she champions diversity, she’s also backed candidates like Governor Tim Walz, a "straight white guy," and now she’s fully supporting Lt. Governor Peggy Flanagan, a Native American leader, in her run for the U.S. Senate.

Together, Darcy and I unpack the weaponization of DEI and CRT, and we share where we find hope and encouragement even in today’s political climate. Let’s get into it.
