Yvette Valdes-Smith knows firsthand how spiraling housing costs have made Beacon unaffordable to many. Yvette and her husband rented in Beacon for years, but moved to Fishkill when they realized they couldn't afford to buy a home here.  “We shouldn't have to struggle with paying our utility bills, our rent and our mortgages,” she says in our interview. “Affordability is critical to me and to pretty much every voter I've spoken to. And housing is a huge issue. It's going to require us not being NIMBY about things. We have to increase housing stock.”   Raised in Isla Verde, Puerto Rico, Yvette went to college in New York, became a public school teacher and started a family before winning a seat on the Dutchess County Legislature, where she is Minority Leader. Now she's running for NY State Senate District 39 on the Democratic ticket.  In addition to housing affordability, her campaign is focused on issues like abortion rights, gender-affirming care, gun safety and youth services.  “We need more youth services,” she says. “I'm a mom. I've experienced the lack of childcare in this county. I've experienced youth programs closing or not being available. Think about summer camps, how they'll go online and they'll be gone in three seconds.”  But winning won't be easy. The current State Senator in the seat she's running for, Republican Rob Rolison, is a seasoned pol who won the spot by about 7,000 votes two years ago. In this episode, she talks about what it will take to beat him – including lots and lots of canvassing in purple and red areas of the district.  Senate District encompasses Beacon along with parts of Putnam, Dutchess and Orange counties. 

Suozzi talked with Len Berman and Micheal Riedel about his experience in public service over his competitor Mazi Melesa Pilip. Suozzi did admit it's an uphill battle for a Democrat to win on Long Island.

Climate activists hoped that Democratic super-majorities in the NY State Senate and State Assembly could deliver historic legislation that would greatly expand the state of New York's role in producing renewable energy, create tens of thousands of union jobs and lower rates for consumers. The Build Public Renewables Act did pass the Senate at the end of May but then died in the Assembly without receiving a vote before the legislature adjourned for the year. State Senator Jabari Brisport of Brooklyn and Illapa Sairitupac, a climate activist who is running for State Assembly in Lower Manhattan, join us to talk about the battle for public power in NY.

NY State Senate candidate Karim Elsammak comes to the studio to talk bail reform and why he is getting into the race.  @mikeragu 

Yesterday, April 7th, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson was confirmed to the Supreme Court of the United States, making her the first Black woman to serve as a justice on the nation's highest court. Building off the confirmation of Justice Brown Jackson, we took a Deep Dive into the life and legacy of Judge Constance Baker Motley, the first Black woman to serve on the federal judiciary. Constance Baker Motley was a civil rights lawyer, NY state politician, and the first Black woman appointed to the federal judiciary. Before finishing law school at Columbia University in 1945, Motley served as a law clerk in the office of Thurgood Marshall, the well known civil rights leader who was the first African American to serve on the Supreme Court of the United States. In 1946, Motley joined the NAACP Legal and Educational Defense Fund where she served as a civil rights lawyer for nearly two decades. She represented well known civil rights leaders like MLK and Medgar Evans whose constitutional rights were often under siege by the American government during that time. She also represented those who took part in civil rights activism such as the Freedom Fighters and the Birmingham Children Marchers. She was considered a key legal and political strategist of the movement.  In 1950, Motley was the legal mind behind the original complaint in Brown v. Board of Education (1954), the landmark case that ended school segregation in the U.S. in the mid 20th century. The complaint in Brown v. BOE (1954) argued that under the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment, racial separation under the guise of "separate but equal," was in-fact unequal therefore unconstitutional. This historical case set the legal stage for desegregation in the U.S. In 1964, Motley became the first Black woman elected to the NY State Senate, and she eventually became the first Black woman elected to serve as Borough President of Manhattan. In 1966, President Lyndon B. Johnson appointed her to a seat on the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, making her the first Black woman to be appointed to the federal bench.  Today, we took a deep dive into her life and legacy with Tomiko Brown-Nagin, Dean of the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study and Professor Law and History at Harvard University. She's author of Civil Rights Queen: Constance Baker Motley and the Struggle for Equality, “A must-read for anyone who dares to believe that equal justice under the law is possible and is in search of a model for how to make it a reality,” said Professor Anita Hill. Anita Hill is the legal scholar and professor who captivated the American public in 1991 during her testimony before the Senate judiciary committee in the vetting process for then-nominee Clarence Thomas. Thomas is the only other African American to sit on the Supreme Court; he was appointed by George H. W. Bush to replace Justice Thurgood Marshall. He's married to Virginia Thomas who sent a great deal of text messages begging former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows to push to overturn the fairly drawn results of the 2020 presidential election. We also spoke with President and Director-Counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund (LDF), Janai Nelson, about the legacy Motley left and the pivotal cases she worked on during her time there.  Simone Yhap, the immediate past president of the National Chair of the National Black Law Students Association also joined us. Yhap spoke to us about the obstacles Black law students continue to face, citing a recent incident from law student Brooklyn Crockton. Crockton posted a TikTok back in March about what happened when she arrived at court to serve as a Rule 9 attorney representing an indigent client. She says a court officer blocked her entry into the courtroom and asked if she was the defendant on trial. Simone speaks to this incident with her own story of racial discrimination during law school and reflects on how the historical confirmation of Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson will inspire the next generation of U.S. attorneys.

In this episode, I speak with Joe Toscano about why he left Google in 2017, and how he became one of tech's leading critics. We talk about what he saw, in 2017, in the culture of tech that led him to leave, and what led him to found the Better Ethics and Consumer Outcomes Network (BEACON). We discuss the relationship between ethics, law, and policy, and best practices for building a space for change in the public and in the industry. Joe Toscano is an award-winning designer, published author, and international keynote speaker. Joe previously consulted for Google in Mountain View, CA. Joe left because he believes the industry misuses data and felt the issues needed to be addressed through innovation rather than strict regulation. Since leaving, Joe has traveled the world speaking to audiences ranging from 10 people at local events to 15,000 person corporate events, he has written a book, called Automating Humanity, and he has started the Better Ethics and Consumer Outcomes Network (BEACON), all focused on increasing technology literacy, discovering opportunities for intentional and thoughtful innovative practices, and moving communities forward through purpose-driven innovation. Outside of BEACON Joe also writes for Forbes, is a member of the World Economic Forum's Steering Committee for Data Protection, and is featured in The Social Dilemma. His work is in the process of being translated into law, putting him in the room with legislators across the United States, including NY State Senate and dozens of Attorney's General, to whom he submitted evidence in the antitrust case against Google.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, Maryland and DC filed suit a few months ago claiming President Trump violated the emoluments clause of the Constitution; suggesting that he is receiving money from foreign governments via a hotel owned by his family and that this is a way of paying off the president. The NY State Senate has passed a bill of attainder, which is not legal at the federal level and if this law, which is aimed at only one person, passes the State of NY will hand over Trump's NY State tax records. The Democrats at the national and state levels are wholly dedicated to destroying Trump any way they can whether there's a crime or not. While Trump is the victim of malfeasance by the FBI and those within the Hillary campaign that colluded with Russian propaganda apparatchiks. Yet the attacks continue including Sen. Richard Burr's request to subpoena Donald Trump Jr. again, despite having been exonerated by the Special Counsel's investigation and despite having already offered hours of testimony. Congress has no power to criminally prosecute and Don Jr. and others should "say no" to subpoenas. Then, leftwing pseudo-historian Douglas Brinkley says that AG Barr is arrogant and condescending. Democrats are creating the perception of crisis, pointless court cases, dozens of subpoenas, involve state parties and their legal apparatchiks, and of course, they summon their loyal party press media to sell the sham that we're in a manufactured Constitutional Crisis. All of this so that they can use their government positions to reverse the outcome of the 2016 election under the guise of solving their own manufactured crisis (pseudo-event).

THE HOME FOR PROGRESSIVE POLITICS This Week’s Discussion: We talk about how current events, including the longest government shutdown in US history, once again demonstrate the irreplaceable role of government in promoting well-being.  Microsoft offers to donate money to ease the housing crisis in Seattle.  Recent research indicates climate change is accelerating even more rapidly than previously feared, not that this info is shared with anyone. Will the government shutdown ever end and, most egregiously for Trump, will it threaten his State of the Union lie-fest?  How the latest on Russia and other current events indicate what happens when you abdicate governing responsibility and instead simply up your appeal to bigots. Chief Justice Roberts continues to show his colors, the Supreme Court continues to demonstrate its lack of legitimacy, and why won't liberals acknowledge that? The NY State Senate finally begins to show what a true progressive populism should look like, along with LA teachers, while the other half carves up the world in Davos and we again see the vast gulf between the parties and the need for a steeply progressive tax system.     *Also available on Spotify, iTunes, and Stitcher-Please SUBSCRIBE   THE HOME FOR PROGRESSIVE POLITICS Forward Nation Radio with Professor David Leventhal    Visit forwardnationradio.com for all shows, fun toons, stats, and more.

Zellnor Myrie is running for New York State Senate in District 20. If you caught our last pod with Alessandra Biaggi, you’re already familiar with New York’s strange State Senate. For seven years, a group of turncoat politicians have run as Democrats, been elected as Democrats, and immediately caucused with Republicans in the New York State Senate. They formed a conference, called the Independent Democratic Conference (IDC) to vote as a bloc, ceding control of the chamber and preventing progressive policies from being sent to Governor Cuomo’s desk. Everything from codifying Roe v. Wade at the state-level, to passing Universal Health Care, or the DREAM Act, and even to more local issues like Affordable Housing, Speed Cameras, and the funding of Public Schools, has been blocked as a result of the IDC. Enter Zellnor Myrie. State Senator Jesse Hamilton, the incumbent in Zellnor Myrie’s district, is one of the IDC Members, and Zellnor has had enough. He thinks the time is now to knock him out. With the typical machinery at-hand, politicians are turning on each other trying to either oust the incumbent, or keep him in power. Zellnor is finding himself right in the middle of it all, and he’s staying focused on the mission at hand and rolling with the punches. On today’s pod with Nathan Rubin of Millennial Politics, we talk with Zellnor about his race for the State Senate against incumbent Jesse Hamilton and the IDC.

Episode #2 of NY Update, a discussion with progressive candidate Julie Goldberg about the NYS Senate race in the 38th State Senate District, representing parts of Rockland County, Ossining and Briarcliff Manor.

Alessandra Biaggi - Candidate for NY State Senate District 34 Alessandra Biaggi is taking on the founder of the IDC in NY's 34th Senate District, she's a brilliant progressive taking the Republican light establishment on head on.

Welcome to a special crossover edition of our pod with Nathan Rubin of Millennial Politics. We’re joined by Alessandra Biaggi, a candidate for New York State Senate and a longtime member of our community. Alessandra is challenging the leader of breakaway Democrats known as the IDC, who sold out their district for personal gain and ceded control to Republicans. Her incumbent opponent, State Senator Jeff Klein, is the leader of the Independent Democratic Conference (or IDC). He ran as a Democrat, was elected as a Democrat, and purports to govern as a Democrat, while caucusing with Republicans. As a result of the IDC and Republican control in the New York State Senate, progressive legislation passed by the New York State Assembly dies time and time again. Democrats have a Super-Majority in the Assembly, but year after year, legislation that should be a hallmark of a “progressive” state like New York never reached the Governor’s desk and never becomes law. Alessandra is running on a platform of Affordable Housing, expanding the electorate through small “d” democratic reforms, criminal justice reform, women’s reproductive rights, LGBTQ civil rights, and more.
