EPISODE 27: Diversity in Politics

It’s the Melanin Takeover !!!
This episode has Melanin Takeover host & curator Chanju Mwanza talking to Vanessa Martins, Isabel Fanfan and Jeannie Dunn from Seize The Vote to discuss how we can close the class gap in politics, which continues to be largely inaccessible to people who grow up in more diverse, socioeconomically poorer schools. Founded in June 2017, Seize the Vote aims to ensure the sustainability of a high youth turnout in British elections by educating young people about political participation. Have a listen to hear what the next steps for Seize the Vote are, and how WE can get our younger brothers & sisters & non-binary friends to get more involved in our political climate!
