In the first episode of Grassroots and Chill, hosts Emi Iribarren and Tiffany Tagbo kick off the RESULTS Organizing and Advocacy Fellowship podcast with a conversation about the Spring 2026 Harvard Youth Poll. The poll includes 10 key takeaways about how young Americans are feeling about the economy, politics, elections, trust in government, and their future. Young people are not apathetic. They are exhausted, overcharged, underheard, and still paying attention.
Emi and Tiffany will discuss select key takeaways from the poll, including what young people are saying about inflation, housing costs, political leadership, and whether they feel heard by decision-makers. This episode connects the data to real-life advocacy and explores why young people are not checked out, they are paying attention, organizing, and ready to be part of the solution.
