Please listen with care.In Episode 4 of the Youth’s Take Podcast, Land Justice Fellows Justyce Melton and Genesis Pedraza-Hernandez reflect on our jam-packed summer as youth organizers, the work we accomplished, and what we learned throughout the Land Justice Fellowship. We also discuss the killing of 17-year-old Anthoneil Williams II, who was fatally shot by Austin police officers on July 24, 2026. As young people, we believe it is important to speak honestly about the issues affecting youth in our communities and to create space for reflection, accountability, and justice. Tune in to hear our perspective on a summer filled with learning, organizing, community, and difficult conversations.
