Elections and Policing with Pamela Young of United Fort Worth

We have a treat for you today! This is our first episode in our new studio space, allowing us to have our first in-person interview!! Since starting our podcast, we have been inspired by Pamela Young and the entire team at United Fort Worth (https://linktr.ee/unitedfortworth). They are local leaders in the conversation around immigration, policing, and BIPOC empowerment. We discuss important topics we should consider as we enter the polls in less than a week. Later in the episode, we also think through the long-term needs of candidates for city council.
