Is Zohran Mamdani’s political agenda helping New York City — or creating new problems for working-class communities?
In this episode, Bronx community activist Latina Brown joins the conversation to discuss some of the most controversial issues currently shaping New York politics. From the debate over a proposed 9.5% tax increase, to concerns about NYCHA residents being left out of key renter meetings, and the growing questions surrounding New York’s Medicaid system under Governor Kathy Hochul, this discussion examines how political decisions in City Hall and Albany are affecting everyday New Yorkers.
Brown speaks from the perspective of residents in the Bronx—one of the boroughs most affected by housing pressure, rising costs, and policy decisions made far from the neighborhoods where those impacts are felt most.
This conversation also explores the broader issue of political accountability, including recent controversy in Congress after dozens of lawmakers voted against releasing sexual misconduct investigation records involving members of Congress.
The central question remains: Are current policies improving life for New Yorkers, or leaving key communities behind?
Watch as we break down the policies, the politics, and the real-world outcomes affecting the Bronx and New York City.
