There are so few young people in local politics, and many of the young people engaged in government merely use office as a platform for social media. This is where Alhambra City Councilmember Sasha Renée Pérez breaks from the pack. A supporter of workers. She has fought to bring the Universal Guaranteed Income Initiative and the Hero Pay Ordinance to her city. As a renter, she has put a spotlight on inclusionary housing laws in her community. As a first-generation college graduate, she put front and center disenfranchised marginalized populations, showing solidarity where it was needed. We always ask, who will be the next generation of changemakers. We know we found one in Sasha Renée Pérez and we’re glad she’s on this episode of the Jed Cast!
