Vaccinate All 58 is a movement aimed at promoting COVID-19 vaccinations and boosters by helping to spread facts and address misinformation. 

yli is working with young folks across the state to create and share resources to keep Californians informed about the steps they can take to keep themselves and  their families safe. This podcast is one of those resources. 

We hope you enjoy hearing from Evelia Cabrera from COVID-19 Youth Task Force. Stay tuned here for more on Vaccinate All 58.

Guest:  Oakland Council Member Carroll Fife

Taken from Council member Fife's website
"Carroll Fife is the councilmember-elect for Oakland’s District 3. After decades of public service as a non-profit director and community organizer, Carroll was called to run for office by the people with whom she organizes every day. One of the founding members of Moms for Housing, Carroll has fought both in the halls of power and in the streets to protect the human right to housing. 

As councilmember her priorities will be to divest from police to invest in community, get every unsheltered person in Oakland into housing as quickly as possible, and create progressive tax structures to correct social and racial inequities. Her historic winning campaign, supported by virtually every endorsing organization in Oakland, was powered by over 1000 active volunteers, and has transitioned into a permanent political organization dedicated to passing transformative legislation and building a progressive majority on the Oakland City Council."

On today’s episode, we’ll be sharing some very special audio from the 2021 California Economic Summit, which was hosted by our amazing partners CA Forward in Monterey. My co-hosts were lucky enough to attend and speak at the summit, and were joined by their fellow Youth Leadership Advisory Council cohort and speakers like Governor Gavin Newsom and numerous State Assemblymembers.

In 1963, President Clinton required the governor of each state to create and appoint a commission to administer the new AmeriCorps program. In 2006, the reach of California's commissions was expanded by governor Schwarzenegger to respond to disasters and recovery.

Now called California volunteers–the state office is tasked with engaging Californians and services, volunteering and survey action to tackle our state's most pressing challenges while mobilizing all Californians to volunteer and serve their communities

Here with me today is the head of California volunteers, chief service officer Josh Fryday.

As a member of the Governor’s Cabinet, Fryday led the COVID-19 Task Force to support food insecure communities and food banks across the state. Since appointed, California Volunteers has launched the nation’s first statewide Climate Action Corps, #CaliforniansForAll volunteer initiative, a statewide Neighbor-to-Neighbor campaign, and the #CaliforniansForAll College Program to help thousands of Californians who commit to serving for a year pay for college.

What does it take to be considered electable? Experience? Leadership skills? Or is it defined by race or creed? Even more importantly, who is gets to make that call?  Join Demi and Michael as they talk with City of Irvine Mayor Farrah N. Khan and University of San Fransisco student, yli Program Coordinator and organizer Mansi Kalra about identity, engaging youth in the Irvine community and ask just who exactly is considered electable?

In November of 2020 history was made as Mayor Farrah N. Khan became the 23rd Mayor of Irvine. Mayor Khan became the first woman of color to hold the position in Irvine, and the first Muslim woman to lead a large city in all the United States. Not to mention that she also received the highest number of votes for the position of Mayor in the city’s history.
