DC Is Under Attack and Kinney Zalesne Is Fighting Back | At Our Table
Candidate for DC Delegate, Kinney Zalesne, sits down with us to talk about what it takes to fight for opportunity when power is unevenly distributed. A former White House and Justice Department official who helped build college access work in DC, she connects education, public service, and her campaign for Congress around a single idea: talent is everywhere, but support is not. We discuss DC statehood and federal attacks on the city as well as AI’s impact on work and why the next chapter of leadership has to pair autonomy with economic imagination.

(03:28) Kinney and Jaime's Transformative Experience at Peer Forward
