In this special bonus episode we are joined by Illapa Sairitupac, a social worker, climate activist, and candidate for New York State Assembly in District 65 (encompassing Lower Manhattan, Chinatown, the Lower East Side, Two Bridges, and the Financial District). We chat briefly about what it is like to run for office while working such a demanding day job before exploring the main topic of conversation: New Deal for CUNY.
