Episode 050: Welcome to the Church of Apathy

October 24th, 2019  |  47 mins 40 secs

federal lawsuit, kevin carreno, muncie police, nora powell, perception is reality w/kristopher h. bilbrey, welcome to the church of apathy, winchester

Kristopher H. Bilbrey discusses apathy and how it is a serious problem for attempting to better the communities we all live in! Some treat apathy as a new religion... going as far as fighting to not be active or involved! We take a look at a few examples of how apathy has caused people to now act differently than we once would have: how one community refuses to call out a Candidate that is accused of Domestic Violence... how there are citizens that will not fight for other citizens' rights, even when they are violated... how people "say" they want change and want things to be better in their communities, but they aren't willing to put forward the work it takes to make the communities better (low voter turnout)...

Now is the time to turn away from APATHY and fight to Better Government Through Citizen Involvemnet!

Discussion of how to overcome this is talked about and Kris asks for YOUR INPUT?
