From workers demanding an increase to the minimum wage, to working to reduce the influence of money in politics, people across the state are taking the lead in the fight for a fairer, more progressive New York.
In the first episode of Justice Works Radio, we talk to Mark Emanatian, Citizen Action’s capital region organizer, and Joanna Nadeau, a volunteer with FOCUS Churches, on what’s at stake in the fight for $15 an hour.
Also on this episode: Executive Director of Democracy Matters, Joan Mandle, and Adam Eichen, a Vassar College senior – are organizing college students to combat money in politics; and Karen Scharff and Jordan Bellassai with a post-election recap.
