Is Gen Z coming of age in unprecedented uncertainty — or have we been here before?
In the premiere episode of The Civic Generation, 19-year-old engineering student Samantha Sandhaus and civic leader Stefanie Sanford, who came of age in the 1970s, compare notes on economic anxiety, political division, and the future of American democracy.
Instead of debating who had it harder, they discover a surprising kinship across decades. From the Equal Rights Amendment to Feeding Philly, their conversation explores how uncertain times shape civic identity—and why finding common ground may be the first step toward solving what divides us.
