TTT1848 Dec 3- 3 Young Women Political activists

From Congress to the State Legislature, in big cities and rural and suburban communities, an amazing number of people from under-represented populations have stepped forward to run for public office and take on positions of public leadership. What does this changing of the guard mean for our communities? To find out, TruthToTell talks to three Minnesotans who personify this cultural and generation shift: Nikki Villavicencio, a disability rights activist and candidate for the Maplewood City Council Cheniqua Johnson, the 22-year-old African-American candidate for House District 22B in southwestern Minnesota Andrea Duarte, creator of Stories from Unheard Voices, a project that documents the lives of Latinos in her hometown of Worthington, Minn.

We are living in a time of media decentralization. People from many backgrounds and multiple versions of the “truth” are finding ways to be heard. What about communities of color? Are their stories being told? And if so, how and where? Journalist and educator Cirien Saadeh, joins TruthToTell to discuss what she calls, “journalism of color” and the intersection of journalism and social movements. Also joining the conversation is Kenzie O’Keefe, editor of North News, a local paper committed to raising up the experiences of North Minneapolis residents.
