On this episode of AmplifEd, The EdAllies Podcast, Margaret Sullivan and Josh Crosson are joined by special guest Jose Perez, Director of Good Trouble at Bridgemakers. They discuss the importance of advocating for underserved students and removing barriers in education. Jose shares his experiences navigating predominantly white spaces and the gratitude he feels for the sacrifices his mother made for his education. They also touch on the power of youth voices and the need for systemic change in education. They discuss the brilliance and potential of these young individuals and how they are being let down by the system. The conversation also delves into the experiences of Jose and other young people at the Minnesota Capitol, fighting against legislation that would push out teachers of color.
