May 31, 2022 40. How to Represent Your District feat. Shahana Hanif (New York City Council Member, District 39)
This week we have NYC Council Member Shahana Hanif! Shahana represents District 39, which includes parts of Kensington, Borough Park, Windsor Terrace, Park Slope, Gowanus, Carroll Gardens, Cobble Hill, and the Columbia Waterfront. She's also the Co-Chair of the Progressive Caucus and Chair of the Immigration Committee. We ask her questions about working with our NYPD-loving Mayor Eric Adams and how to get him to think about community safety in ways that don't involve more police officers and homeless encampment sweeps. After that, we go into some lightning rounds about other work that Shahana does as a Council Member. Sorry for the shortness of this episode! We were on a very tight schedule and tried to pack as many question as possible in the amount of time we had together for recording. As always, if you like the podcast, please give us a 5 star rating on Spotify or Apple.
