Speaker 1 (00:00):
Whether it's life, relationships, politics, or current events, nothing is
off limits. This is the Patty and the Millennials podcast,
powered by ACME Markets, helping to bridge the gap between
baby Boomers, gen X and millennials.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Welcome to the podcast conversation Patty and the Millennials. I'm
Patty Jackson. I'm a radio vet in Philadelphia and I
don't know about you, but I love a great conversation.
Thanks for joining us. I'm the baby boomer. We go
from gen Z to millennials to gen X men, women,
and good conversation is a must. We've got Reyese Green
(00:40):
joining us. He is a senior at Saint Joe's University
representing the gen zs. Reese, We're talking about getting out
the vote and the importance of going to the poll.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Yes, this is very important. Right now we are seeing
probably the election of a lifetime for us gen Z kids.
We already we grew up with Barack Obama as president.
No other generation has done that, so that already we
have grown up with a black man in position of power,
So we know what it means to have a black
figure as a political power. But right now, this is
(01:14):
the time where we really need to vote because our
lives are all at stake here. We have a person
who is literally running on human rights and a person
who is running against human rights. There should be no
debate here on whatever. If you have a person who
is literally actively trying to put in stuff that hurts
your abortion rights, hurts your rights. Trump wants to put
(01:35):
police immunity. This is where we need to stand up.
I don't care, I don't care. Please go out and vote.
Our lives depend on it. Or I don't want to
hear anything when elections don't go a certain way and
we have people complaining because y'all should have got y'all
butt up and voted.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
We're talking about the importance of voting Comedia Derek Lee
is joining us. How important is it in your message
for getting people to cast their vote.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
If you don't vote, don't complain. If you don't vote,
you're not a part of the process. You're not a
part of the solution. I remember Tom that it didn't
matter who you voted for, it just going out their move,
whether you're a Republican, Democrat, independent, and some people that
look like me that are the black African American persuasion.
(02:28):
Some people have died for that right, just to vote
and for you. I don't like neither one of the candidates.
Or write in something man, nobody can write in somebody.
We don't care who you write in. Anybody say Barack Obama,
do something. But don't just sit there and not vote.
Your vote does matter because if it doesn't matter, the
(02:50):
black vote is so important because if it didn't matter. Notice,
they keep watching how we're voting. They try to tell
us we're only thirteen percent of the population. I don't
think that's true, because every time I turn around, people
are wanting to tap into the black vote. Go out
there and vote. Your great grandmother almost didn't have an opportunity.
And if you don't vote, you don't matter. Don't complain.
(03:13):
Don't complain about the eggs because I don't understand why
eggs are five dollars because I see plenty of chickens,
so I don't know why the eggs.
Speaker 5 (03:20):
Is so hot.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
But don't complain about the gas. Don't complain about anything.
It's voting die.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
The podcast conversation Patty and the Millennials representing the younger
end of the millennials. We're gearing up for election Day.
We've got Dasia Dasia. The importance of going out to vote,
I think.
Speaker 6 (03:43):
That everyone else does. To exercise your voice and to
be involved in your community. I think the most important
allow people to like, oh, my vote doesn't count or
it won't count. But what about the part of feeling
that proud and happiness within yourself, to know that you're
being involved with what's going on in your community. I
think that's important.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
I'm gonna tell you something. What's going on in our lives?
You think about their future. You've got to think about
what is happening right now. Yep, you do for those
who may be on the rope. How important is it.
I've been telling people days you're to plan to vote right,
which means planning your day. If your boss gives you
(04:23):
a hard time about you know, if you've got to
come in late, the lines are gonna be long. The
importance of planning that day if you're voting in person.
Speaker 6 (04:35):
Yeah, plan. And I think that another thing is what
workplace is? What everyone known this is such a big election.
I feel like workplaces should be lenient with that. So
plan your day, talk us to your boss ahead of time.
We got like what three weeks or so so get
that plan, talk about the days time you're coming. If
you're coming in late, it'll take off the day if
you got to take it off. But there's not a
(04:56):
lot of senugh time to plan ahead if you know
you have like a strict employer where you might not
have set leniency.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
We've got the doula, We've got the mommy Lexi is
joining u's election day. Please stress the importance of it.
I'm telling people, plan your day, know what you got
to do. Don't let the threats of bosses, and you
can't be vincent. You can't do that. We cannot have
(05:24):
any excuses on election day.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
Talk about it.
Speaker 7 (05:30):
So one I agree, and I've always felt like even
when I was doing a lot of work from a
corporate perspective, I would I would tell my team, Hey,
plan for the day, let me know if you need
to shift your schedule, come in early or leave early,
whatever that may be, so that you can get out
and vote. And so now, in this space, as a doula,
(05:50):
as a maternal health advocate, the term we have been
using is doulas for democracy. And so what that looks
like is as doulas, we are are letting families know, hey, listen,
if you need help getting someone watching the kids while
you go vote, we can do that. If you need
to come with you so we can stand with it
with the kids while you vote, we can do that too.
(06:12):
So it's another way for us to amplify the work
that we do as doulas and supporting our mamas and
especially through Coco Life, because we are very involved with
a lot of the work that is being done at
the state level, even for PA. So it's very important
to prepare and how you do that is making sure
that you have resources to support you in your efforts.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
I call her the woman who can do everything. We've
got most she ren joining us election day. You know,
we don't want to hear no excuses. Tell the people
why we got to go to the polls and vote.
Speaker 8 (06:53):
Oh my god, it's chatty. Let me tell you something.
Voting is one of the most powerful tools that we
have that will shape our future and influence the world
around us. Right it is the direct way that we
make our voices heard and how we stand up for
what we believe in and ensure that the issues that
matter most.
Speaker 9 (07:13):
To us are represented.
Speaker 8 (07:14):
I mean, ladies, liten, we've got issues on the ballot
that deeply impact our lives, reproductive rights, healthcare access, and
all of those things. So know that every vote count
and contributes to the collective decisions that will impact our families,
our communities, future generations. So by voting, we have to
(07:35):
uphold our democracy, protect our rights, and really just demand
accountability for those who are in power. That's what your
vote does. Your vote is your voice, your power, and
your chance to really fight for the future that we
all want.
Speaker 9 (07:49):
So do not let it go unhold.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
This is the podcast conversation Patty and the Millennials and
representing gen X. Yeah, he's representing ten X. He's right
in there. We've got Pastor Kevin Johnson, senior pastor of
the Absinian Baptist Church in Harlem, New York. We are
facing pastor, Hey, whooh, a very important election. Give your
(08:17):
thoughts on the importance of why we must be prepared
to cast our vote.
Speaker 10 (08:24):
Listen, this election is more important than any of them.
I know we often say that, but literally it's not
just democracy that's on the line. Women's rights are on
the lines, civil rights is on the lines, and also
our future of the country about democracy is on the line.
So beloved, I need you to get off your behinds.
I need you to get to the polls. I need
(08:45):
you to make sure that you take people.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
With you to vote.
Speaker 10 (08:48):
Because our ancestors, their lives, that blood, sweat and tears
will all go in vain if we do not vote.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
So make sure that you vote this November.
Speaker 10 (08:57):
Fifth, because our lives and our families depend upon whether
or not you vote. Let's vote, beloved, and let's get
this done.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
The importance of voting and why we must cast our vote.
We've got the Reverend doctor Allenie Waller eenon Tabernacle Baptist Church.
We got to vote, sir as if our life depends
depends on it.
Speaker 9 (09:21):
Hey, miss Patty Jay, you are exactly right. Thank you
so much for allowing me to be a part of
this conversation. We have to get out and vote. We
cannot let anything deter us. As I always say, voting
is first about you letting your local officials know that
you exist. The only way that political will will come
(09:42):
to your neighborhood is that there's high voter turnout, and
so that's first and foremost. Secondly, we are voting on
the highest office in the land, and this year. It
is important that we make our voice known. Democracy is
in is in effect, and so there are a lot
(10:03):
of things. You know, we have some very stringent rules
in Pennsylvania. We only have one day technically, but there
are satellite offices. If you think you can't get off work,
or if you think that day won't work for you,
you can go to a satellite office right now and
fill out a ballot and get it done today. So
(10:27):
if you don't think that you can go on that day,
go to a satellite office today and cash your vote.
So the only bad choice is to not vote at all.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Sex Doctor Heather is joining us. Doc your message to
getting people out to the polls.
Speaker 11 (10:49):
Oh my gosh, this is so important. I've never received
so many phone calls in my life from people volunteering
because it's very important.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
My message is just for you to.
Speaker 11 (11:00):
Understand this is not an an individualistic pursuit. I think
people think their vote doesn't matter, right, it's only me,
I'm one person, But it's actually community strength, you know.
I think the political climate right now we need to
reflect on this right like what's going on politically, and
(11:23):
know that individually you can give something to your community
by voting. People don't understand the process of voting. It
is very important. When you complain about the streets, or
you complain about your neighborhood, school, you know, education and
housing and recycling, all the things that matter to you
(11:46):
and your.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Home or whoever's home you're in.
Speaker 11 (11:50):
You complain about these things, this is your chance to
have a voice. Having a voice matters collectively and in
the future. People don't know that this can have a
long last implication who you vote for today.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
We've got Deck Sucky the podcast Conversation Patty and the Millennials.
He's the one who puts everything together, decks getting people
to the polls, the importance, no excuses, why we must
cast our voice to make it heard in this upcoming
presidential election.
Speaker 9 (12:29):
Yeah, you know, I've always been the type of person
who votes. My parents instilled in me when I was
really young, and I've carried.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
That with me throughout life.
Speaker 9 (12:37):
Like my first election that I was legally able to
vote in was the Obama election. So it's like, I
don't understand how anybody in my age group just doesn't
get fired up about voting. Like we started out with
a bang, Like we've had like one of the biggest
elections of all time. We've also set through Donald Trump.
So it's kind of like one of those things that
we know what we can do and we know what
(12:57):
we don't want to do. One of the things where
that people talk about a lot. They're like, you know,
you should go out and vote because people died for this.
People are trying to keep you from doing this. And
I wholeheartedly agree with all that stuff. But today I
saw something and it actually like broke my heart, and
it really reiterated why I need to vote. Because there
was a person who is not a black person, but
(13:19):
has black children with black people obviously, and she posted
about Kamala Harris's plans for black men and she said,
this is stupid. And to me, being a black man,
seeing that and you're saying, like, here having an agenda
for black men specifically, it's stupid as you're raising black
children and living in Philadelphia. It was one of the
(13:41):
most heartbreaking things in the world because you're not not
only are you not going to vote, you're going to
go support Donald Trump. And that cripples the black person,
the black man me in this country. And I just
if I had to sum it up in one way
I would say, you go out there and you vote,
because that's the only way your interests are going to
be heard. This is your opportunity to have your voice
(14:01):
for your interest and for your way of living and
your way of life.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
The senior editor of The Philly Download is joining us,
missus Roberts Whitney Elisee. She just did the most amazing
post that I'm sharing and reposting. We're talking about getting
people out to vote and just how important it is
that we not only show up but show out. Let's
(14:29):
talk about it. Absolutely it is.
Speaker 12 (14:32):
It is absolutely vital, especially.
Speaker 8 (14:34):
For you know, our community in general.
Speaker 12 (14:37):
Like have we not only had the history of why
we need to vote and how we've been disenfranchised and
why our voices truly matter, but we also have the
current things going on, and so I think that everybody
needs to make it their business to a make sure
that you're registered to vote in Pennsylvania. The last day
to register is October twenty first, so that's like next week.
(15:00):
So make sure you're registered and then make your plan
on how you plan to vote.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Make I'd say that all the time. You can't wear
heels if you know your feet on her if you
know them, lines are going to be long if your
job is going to give you a hard way to go.
I've heard in instances Withney where they're like, well, you
can't be laid that day. Now come on, now, come on,
you know the lines are going to be long. Let's
(15:27):
talk about voting early. I'm one of those that are
going to be voting early because I want it done
and I don't want anything getting in the way of
me casting my vote exactly.
Speaker 11 (15:37):
And it's really I don't think enough people.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
Take advantage of voting early, like it's pretty simple, and
Philadelphia makes it really easy because I on the video
that I shared there's like ten or eleven different sites
where you can go to vote early.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
There are, and you can find the information out. Don't
let anything get in your way about that day. Appreciate
you guys so much. Thanks for joining us for the
podcast conversation Patty and the millennials. Now more than ever,
voting is very very important. Make sure you do your
(16:21):
due diligence for this country, for the future of our country,
for the future of your children. It's so very important.

people think their vote doesn't matter, right, it's only me,
I'm one person, But it's actually community strength, you know.
I think the political climate right now we need to
reflect on this right like what's going on politically, and
(11:23):
know that individually you can give something to your community
by voting. People don't understand the process of voting. It
is very important. When you complain about the streets, or
you complain about your neighborhood, school, you know, education and
housing and recycling, all the things that matter to you
(11:46):
and your.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Home or whoever's home you're in.
Speaker 11 (11:50):
You complain about these things, this is your chance to
have a voice. Having a voice matters collectively and in
the future. People don't know that this can have a
long last implication who you vote for today.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
We've got Deck Sucky the podcast Conversation Patty and the Millennials.
He's the one who puts everything together, decks getting people
to the polls, the importance, no excuses, why we must
cast our voice to make it heard in this upcoming
presidential election.
Speaker 9 (12:29):
Yeah, you know, I've always been the type of person
who votes. My parents instilled in me when I was
really young, and I've carried.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
That with me throughout life.
Speaker 9 (12:37):
Like my first election that I was legally able to
vote in was the Obama election. So it's like, I
don't understand how anybody in my age group just doesn't
get fired up about voting. Like we started out with
a bang, Like we've had like one of the biggest
elections of all time. We've also set through Donald Trump.
So it's kind of like one of those things that
we know what we can do and we know what
(12:57):
we don't want to do. One of the things where
that people talk about a lot. They're like, you know,
you should go out and vote because people died for this.
People are trying to keep you from doing this. And
I wholeheartedly agree with all that stuff. But today I
saw something and it actually like broke my heart, and
it really reiterated why I need to vote. Because there
was a person who is not a black person, but
(13:19):
has black children with black people obviously, and she posted
about Kamala Harris's plans for black men and she said,
this is stupid. And to me, being a black man,
seeing that and you're saying, like, here having an agenda
for black men specifically, it's stupid as you're raising black
children and living in Philadelphia. It was one of the
(13:41):
most heartbreaking things in the world because you're not not
only are you not going to vote, you're going to
go support Donald Trump. And that cripples the black person,
the black man me in this country. And I just
if I had to sum it up in one way
I would say, you go out there and you vote,
because that's the only way your interests are going to
be heard. This is your opportunity to have your voice
(14:01):
for your interest and for your way of living and
your way of life.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
The senior editor of The Philly Download is joining us,
missus Roberts Whitney Elisee. She just did the most amazing
post that I'm sharing and reposting. We're talking about getting
people out to vote and just how important it is
that we not only show up but show out. Let's
(14:29):
talk about it. Absolutely it is.
Speaker 12 (14:32):
It is absolutely vital, especially.
Speaker 8 (14:34):
For you know, our community in general.
Speaker 12 (14:37):
Like have we not only had the history of why
we need to vote and how we've been disenfranchised and
why our voices truly matter, but we also have the
current things going on, and so I think that everybody
needs to make it their business to a make sure
that you're registered to vote in Pennsylvania. The last day
to register is October twenty first, so that's like next week.
(15:00):
So make sure you're registered and then make your plan
on how you plan to vote.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Make I'd say that all the time. You can't wear
heels if you know your feet on her if you
know them, lines are going to be long if your
job is going to give you a hard way to go.
I've heard in instances Withney where they're like, well, you
can't be laid that day. Now come on, now, come on,
you know the lines are going to be long. Let's
(15:27):
talk about voting early. I'm one of those that are
going to be voting early because I want it done
and I don't want anything getting in the way of
me casting my vote exactly.
Speaker 11 (15:37):
And it's really I don't think enough people.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
Take advantage of voting early, like it's pretty simple, and
Philadelphia makes it really easy because I on the video
that I shared there's like ten or eleven different sites
where you can go to vote early.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
There are, and you can find the information out. Don't
let anything get in your way about that day. Appreciate
you guys so much. Thanks for joining us for the
podcast conversation Patty and the millennials. Now more than ever,
voting is very very important. Make sure you do your
(16:21):
due diligence for this country, for the future of our country,
for the future of your children. It's so very important.
