Mass of Contradictions

We go on the road and talk with the diplomatic and hypnotic Emily Gallagher, NYC activist and resident running for New Yor'sk 50th District State Assembly seat (Greenpoint, Williamsburg, and Clinton Hill). We sip tea over a vintage formica table in Greenpoint and discuss rent control, public transit, and environmental issues affecting northern Brooklyn as well as Emily's experiences in being drawn into politics through the movement for toxic waste cleanup in her area. Learn more about her campaign at www.emilyforassembly.com; Emily's Twitter: @em4assembly Please support this podcast so we can keep bringing you the tea -- https://www.patreon.com/massofcontradictions

Ricky Canavan-Wagner, a progressive running for State Representative in Beverly, Mass., brings out our sincerity (to a degree). We discuss foster care, rent control, and most importantly, Italian liquors. Learn more about the campaign at www.rickyforstaterep.com; Ricky's Twitter: @canavanwagner

The basics: two whiny people try to justify their claim on your time. It's about Massachusetts, so it involves Native American history, Harvard, and a whole lot of Catholics.
