The Jali Ep 179: Rising Voices: Youth Leadership and the Fight for Fair Representation


Listen Later

Joining me are Melissa Leon Perez and Dylan Tran, two remarkable students from Stockton Early College Academy and interns with the NAACP Stockton Branch in partnership with San Joaquin Delta College. These young leaders share their personal journeys, family influences, and their growing passion for social justice and civic engagement.

Together, we dive into Proposition 50, exploring how congressional redistricting impacts communities of color, voting rights, and representation across California and beyond. Their thoughtful reflections remind us that advocacy starts early—and that informed, engaged youth are vital to shaping a more equitable future.

Tune in for an inspiring conversation about leadership, identity, and the importance of making every voice count.
