Senator Sasha Renée Pérez on ICE Raids & Saving Democracy

At just 27, Sasha Renée Pérez became the youngest female mayor in San Gabriel Valley history. Now she's the youngest member of the California State Senate — and she's using that seat to take on ICE. Host, John Carlos Frey sits down with Senator Pérez to talk about her journey from Alhambra City Council to Sacramento, and the wave of legislation she's championing to protect immigrant communities across California.  Pérez talks candidly about the online threats she receives, why she believes conversation (not conflict) is the path to bridging political divides, and what she thinks everyday people can do in the run-up to the midterms to protect their undocumented neighbors and preserve democracy.  https://sd25.senate.ca.gov/  https://theraidpodcast.org/ Disclaimer: The statements and opinions expressed by the host or participants on this program are solely their own and do not necessarily represent those of the distributor of the program and any person or entity affiliated with said distributor ("distributor's affiliates").  The distributor and distributor's affiliates are not responsible for, and shall not be liable for, the statements and opinions expressed by the host or participants, or for any content that appears on the program.      Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
