In this roundtable discussion, The Gathering for Justice CEO Carmen Perez, youth activist and Executive Director of Youth Over Guns Luis Hernandez, and Founder of The California Coalition of Barrios Unidos Nane Alejandrez speak about intergenerational advocacy.
In varying capacities, Nane was mentored by activist, singer, and actor Harry Belafonte, mentored Carmen himself, and then watched as Perez has mentored the next generation in Hernandez and more. This discussion chronicles the importance of mentorship and courage in the face of adversity, and is a touching tribute to the years-long movements for justice these brave activists have engaged in.

Activists and sisters Michelle and Ashley Monterrosa speak about Justice4Sean and police brutality
Michelle and Ashley Monterrosa, sisters of Sean Monterrosa, murdered victim of the Vallejo Police Department earlier this Summer, joined the Advocate Daily Podcast to talk about the love they hold for their brother and the strength his memory still gives them. There have been reports in the past that Vallejo PD officers bend their badges to signify having killed someone. Where can trust be found in a community when the police department acts as a cult rather than an entity to protect and serve ALL residents?
The Monterrosa sisters harrowingly and passionately embark on a journey exploring Sean's last day, how his martyrdom inspires them to advocate for other persecuted souls, and why the system isn't "broken," it was built to protect the installation and ideology of white supremacy. A revolution is necessary.
