Election Day is coming up! If you can vote, please do. Not only is voting important for the Presidential race, it’s also crucial to pass propositions that can transform your state and community. And what about for those of us who can’t vote? Today we bring on two friends, Neil and Richard, to guide us through different ways we can make change, whether it’s through voting or through other means! Neil Park McClintick is a political organizer, current Chair of the grassroots coalition Cupertino for All, and former Poli Sci major at UC Berkeley joining us with tips on getting involved on a more local level. Richard Lim is a current Researcher and coordinator at Stop AAPI Hate Reporting Center, and former History / Asian-American studies major at UC Berkeley, with an abundance of insight on historical events and the current Asian-American climate.

Disclaimer: This episode focuses on Bay Area cost of living and average salaries. We recognize that location is a huge factor in the variance of salaries/pay rates. Parents often tell their kids not to talk about money because it’s rude, without explaining why they think it’s rude. But growing up, it’s not difficult to realize why having conversations about money are so awkward. In a capitalistic society where money = merit and money = power, we start to evaluate our own self-worth and happiness on money. Today we wanted to have an open, vulnerable conversation about our salaries and how we manage our money as 24 year olds in the San Francisco Bay Area. While we don’t believe this episode should be a “guide” to managing money (we are noobs, please do your own research), we hope our honesty about our anxiety around salaries, saving, and investing ring true with many of you :) Follow us on insta! @eatyourcrustpod Support the showFollow us on social media @eatyourcrustpod
