Tom Goyen is a political activist, once organizing Occupy Wall Street protests in Riverside, CA. He was also at one point a BLM activist, and Bernie Sanders supporter. Over the years, through research and realizations over cheated primaries, he came to realize that much of what he had once believed to be true was Infact not. Covid was an eye opening experience, as his stepmother became very ill from the Covid 19 vaccine, he became a defeat the mandate activist throughout the Pandemic. Through his years of research and passion for politics Tom has also struggled with Drug Addiction, and he is an open book over his struggle and hopes that his recovery story can help others to have hope and change their lives as well. Tom plans to start his own political commentary channel in the very near future, as well as launch his music career as he is currently recording a new EP.
