Who really has the power in our democracy? Is it elected officials, political parties, or everyday people?

In season 2, episode 11 of Slingshot The Podcast, we explore the power of civic engagement, the importance of voting, and the role Black men play in shaping the political landscape. From voter participation and political accountability to understanding how government actually works, we break down why informed and engaged communities are essential to creating lasting change.

Inspired by the classic anthem “I’ve Got the Power,” by SNAP, this conversation is a reminder that political power doesn’t begin and end on Election Day. It lives in our communities, our voices, and our actions.

What We Unpack:
-Black men, voting & political representation
