Welcome back to The Round Table! This week, our hosts Kassandra, Preena, and Sauda sit down with Dr. Paul Zeitz a physician, public health expert, and democracy advocate whose work spans from global health to civic transformation. With decades of experience leading responses to the HIV/AIDS crisis and now focusing on constitutional renewal and citizen empowerment, Dr. Zeitz brings a unique blend of medical insight, political strategy, and community action to the table.
In this episode, we dive deep into what it means to radically rethink democracy in the 21st century. Dr. Zeitz talks about his mission to help everyday people reclaim power, build inclusive systems, and take bold action to heal what's broken in our society. From citizens' assemblies to new approaches to constitutional reform, he offers not only critique, but clear strategies for reimagining civic life and amplifying youth voices.
We also explore how young people can be powerful agents of change despite the challenges of polarization, disengagement, and injustice. This conversation is about possibility, action, and the future we can build together.
Thanks for listening.
