Episode Description
We're joined by candidates Diana Moreno and Rana Abdelhamid. Both are vying for Zohran Mamdani's assembly seat to represent parts of Queens NYC in Albany. More importantly, they're vying to lead a community targeted by ICE and join us to discuss what New York can learn from Minneapolis and others confronting ICE and their illegal attacks on our communities, and what the nation could learn from Queens.
We also touch on how each will pick up Zohran's torch on the Not On Our Dime campaign, an effort to pass law to restrict New York's non profits from being subsidized to fund violent and illegal Israeli settler attacks in the West Bank.
And we talk about bagels.
(Candidate Mary Jobaida was scheduled to join but could not because of an emergency)
