What does it mean to do public policy work in a state with as challenging a policy environment as Texas?

For this second podcast of Minority Mental Health Awareness Month we are talking to Lily Trieu, interim director of Asian Texans for Justice (ATJ), a statewide nonprofit serving the Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) community in Texas, connecting them to civic action to build personal and political power.
