What if the future of our democracy isn’t dictated solely by policymakers but shaped by everyday people choosing to engage, connect, and lead? We face a crucial question: How do we take action today to create the thriving, inclusive communities we hope to see in the future?
In this episode of Terrified Nation, Debilyn Molineaux sits down with June Klees, a leader in the Civic Wellness Movement and an educator dedicated to empowering individuals to become active participants in their communities. Through her work with the Civic Corps program, June helps students develop critical civic skills—encouraging them to engage with their communities, honor veterans, and foster civic diplomacy.
Together, Debilyn and June dive into some of the biggest challenges facing civic engagement today, including our collective fear of conflict. June emphasizes the importance of having courageous conversations, breaking out of echo chambers, and together they talk about developing a civic life plan that evolves as we do. Civic engagement, she argues, isn’t just about policy or elections—it’s about how we show up every day in our communities.
As June powerfully states, “If we don’t keep imagining, we risk losing the very progress we’ve worked so hard to achieve.” The future is not just something we wait for—it’s something we actively create. By fostering meaningful dialogue and committing to civic action, we can ensure that future generations inherit not just the benefits of democracy, but the tools to sustain and improve it.
Tune in for an inspiring conversation that will challenge you to rethink your role in shaping the future of our civic life.
