Why are voters losing faith in politics, even when they understand the importance of voting?

In Season 7, Episode 2 of Everything's Political, Junius Williams welcomes Detroit cultural organizer Trinity Watson and government affairs consultant Marilyn Davis for a candid conversation about voter disengagement, declining trust in government, political accountability, and the responsibility of political parties to engage the communities they represent.

Together, they explore what it takes to rebuild trust, inspire political participation, and create meaningful change beyond the ballot box.
