Civil Discourse with Citizen Tripp | Episode 1: Ethical Consumption
LIVE PANEL WITH CITIZEN TRIPP
WATCH NOW
Hosted by Tripp Gomez, this live conversation brings farmers, organizers and neighbors to the same table to ask a question that’s both simple and impossible: how do we live ethically inside a system built on exploitation?
Featuring Lawrence, Miranda, David Larrick Smith, Off_JaWagon, Spwashi, Tony and Michael, this conversation cuts into the intersection of power, care and the quiet compromises that shape our daily choices. Together, they pull back the curtain on “ethical consumption,” to reveal what’s often hidden behind the label: monopolies that erase local options, branding that performs virtue and the reality that not everyone has the luxury of choice.
From local food systems and bartering to co-ops and community-supported agriculture, Gomez and the panelists explore what resistance can look like in practice, and what it means to build economies rooted in empathy, not extraction.
Watch the full conversation to hear their stories, their disagreements and the small, radical acts that might just change the way we live.
