Youth 4 Change | Zoom Room #14

Youth 4 Change is an Anchorage-based organization that looks to address and minimize the oppression of Black, Indigenous, People of Color within the education system by uplifting youth voices. In this episode we’re going to hear from two of the group’s members, Stefani Martinez and Ruth Dan.

They spoke with ATMI senior producer Cornilius Nelson about the work that their group is doing, aspects of the education system that they’d like to address, and how America’s recent reckoning with systemic racism has inspired them to get to work.

They spoke on October 29th, 2020.

Hosted by Ormund Alaois.

Music by Kendrick Whiteman.
