Emily Munoz

My name is Emily Munoz and I’m a senior in the law program at Truman High School in the Bronx, NY. I got involved with YVote/NextGen through Democracy Camp and the Changemakers Institute during the summer, and soon became a Changemakers Peer Leader, a member of the NYC Youth Agenda Steering Committee, and of course a host of the NGP Round Table podcast. Joining YVote/NextGen, though recent, was the decision of a lifetime. I’ve met wonderful people, between our podcast co-hosts, guests, and others in the NGP/YVote ecosystem. What brought me to the podcast was my eagerness to hear diverse perspectives and to broaden my understanding of politics and social justice. Some things I do outside of the podcast are read and write poetry, lead my school’s RAPP social justice peer leader club, and collaborate with numerous organizations to advance intersectional gender and racial equity.
