In this episode of The Power of Partnership Podcast, host Cherri Jacobs Pruitt talks with New York Assemblyman Ron Kim about transforming politics by putting care at its core. Drawing on Riane Eisler’s partnership–domination framework, Kim shares how he’s fought for truth during the long-term care crisis, exposed wage theft impacting immigrant home care workers, and built bipartisan coalitions to protect elders and strengthen caregiving systems. He calls for treating care as critical public infrastructure—valued and funded like roads and bridges—and envisions a political culture where dignity, safety, and human connection guide every decision.
