This is an IHeart podcast.

Hey, this is Annie.

And Samantha.

And welcome to Steph One Never Told You, a production of IHeart Radio.

So, it's not a great time for the U.S. I might have been crying this morning over some videos of people outside of the U.S.

who actually are compassionately asking how we're doing and understanding that we are not doing well. And as more and more

fascist things, fascist like things and things are occurring here, we're trying to combat the

feeling of helplessness and fear by focusing on people and organizations and protesters and the right to protest, that we're trying to find things to uplift or to at least encourage our fellow peoples in this time.

And yeah, protesters have been out and about all around the U.S., even today, constantly.

And with Labor Day coming, I know there's some, like, thoughts and processing of, like,

possibly more organizations coming out and about.

So we thought for this activist around the world that we would talk about some protesting

organizations and trusted organizations so we can gather

together and get unified. As we were talking about previous leaders and protesters and people

in this fear talking about how being unified is one of the key points in combating this.

And with activists around the world, that's something that we love to do is

highlight those good organizations that we see as trustworthy and that have done proven good work.

However, let me admit to you now, this episode is a little odd, a little different because I've hit

some roadblocks, I've hit some questions in my own mind and my own thinking as we know that the government

not to be paranoid or over the top, you know, we're buying into some conspiracy theories, but

we know that the government does track a lot of our data. That's what they have done. They have

set this up from jump in order to be able to do so with very little slowing down or any kind of repercussions.
