<description>&lt;p&gt;This week, we're dropping an episode from our other show, Not Right Now, in the feed, where Quinn and Claire have community organizer and dad, Garrett Bucks, on the show to chat about parenting, of course, but also how he answered the most important question by building community locally and across the nation, and how you can make it easier for parents (and kids, why not) to engage civically as well.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Garrett runs &lt;strong&gt;The Barnraisers Project&lt;/strong&gt;, writes &lt;strong&gt;The White Pages&lt;/strong&gt; newsletter, and is the author of the memoir &lt;strong&gt;The Right Kind of White&lt;/strong&gt;. He also has a son who is very mad that his sister thinks they live in a suburb.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The gang gets into why your son talks differently to his sister than to his friends, kids not knowing what the Epstein files are, growing up in rural Montana, how to get work done in between school drop off and soccer practice, and why protests are important AND performative AND boring and worth doing anyway, and how to actually get your kids to come.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-----------&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Have feedback?&lt;/strong&gt;
