Rooted in Resistance: Gen Z Gun Fire and the Ground we stand on

What does it mean to be rooted—in land, in justice, and in the fight for our future? National organizer, movement journalist, and author Brea Baker joins host Mary-Pat Hector for a powerful conversation on the intersection of gun violence, reparations, and Gen Z activism.

From the legacy of stolen land to the epidemic of bullets in Black communities, Brea takes us inside the work of building lasting freedom—beyond hashtags, beyond elections, and beyond political soundbites. They tackle hard truths about public safety, the limits of digital activism, and why reparations are as much about dignity as they are about dollars.

If you’ve ever wondered what real change could look like—and what it takes to get there—this episode goes deep, pulls no punches, and reminds us: movements are rooted in people, not politics.
