Episode Description from the Publisher

Born in El Monte and raised in Fontana, Joz Sida has spent over 15 years organizing communities, building coalitions, and advocating for environmental and social justice at the local, state, and national levels. Now, she’s bringing that experience home as she runs for Mayor of Fontana. In this conversation, Joz breaks down her path from grassroots organizing to national leadership roles, including serving as the first-ever Chapter Director of the Sierra Club San Gorgonio, National Field Director for organizations like Progressive Turnout Project and Corazón Latino, State Director for Mi Familia Vota in Nevada, and National Campaigner with MoveOn.org. We discuss what she’s learned from mobilizing voters across the country, the challenges facing Fontana today, and what people-centered leadership looks like in practice. From environmental justice and public health to civic engagement and community trust, this episode offers insight into Joz’s vision, values, and why she’s stepping up to serve the city she calls home.  Shop Budget Template: https://stan.store/Echale/p/budget-template-english Shop My Fitness Book: https://stan.store/Echale/p/echale-ganas-a-tu-vida-english Shop My Products: https://stan.store/Echale View Podcast Playlists: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJ7-6Qe9CXRXgqFlTssxQbslk22uD25DB
