Raven Schwam-Curtis: Gen Z Should Center Collective Liberation at the Heart of Our Activism

PUSH The Next Generation

In this episode, Raven Schwam-Curtis joins PUSH The Next Generation host, Ashley Jackson, to explore the evolving role of content creators in politics and media. As members of the first DNC Creator class, they discuss how Gen Z is reshaping traditional institutions and practices, with Raven highlighting the generation's power in driving political accountability. Raven also reframes voting as a strategic tool for change rather than an endorsement of the status quo and shares her personal journey of balancing activism with self-care and hope in these turbulent times.

Raven and Ashley also explore the necessity of centering “collective liberation” as a guiding framework for advancing equity and justice in the fight against systemic oppression. Drawing from her experience as a Black and Jewish content creator, Raven offers compelling insights into the intersectional communities she represents. She challenges divisive narratives and addresses the ongoing threats of anti-Blackness and antisemitism, urging listeners to understand our current political moment, reflect on shared histories, and build a united path forward.
