Ep. 6 Generational Leadership with CA Attorney General Rob Bonta

Born to activists who went to church with Martin Luther King, Jr. and organized in the Farmworkers Movement with Cesar Chavez, Rob Bonta inherited leadership from parents and paved his own path to being the first Filipino American to be California's Attorney General. In this episode, Tammy Tran and Catt Phan speak to California's chief law officer and the “attorney for the people." The Attorney General shares how he and his wife, Assemblymember Mia Bonta, instill the importance of public service in their family, how to pave your own path as an authentic leader, and action items each of us can do when feeling helpless against anti-Asian hate.

Attorney General Bonta's passion for justice and fairness was instilled in him by his parents, who served on the frontlines of some of America's most important social justice movements. Instilling in him the lessons they learned from the United Farm Workers and the civil rights movement, Attorney General Bonta's parents lit a fire inside him to fight against injustice — to stand up for those who are taken advantage of or harmed. He has led statewide fights for racial, economic, and environmental justice and worked to further the rights of immigrant families, renters, and working Californians.
