NY activists Kevin Wei and Kate Zen join Diana and Chris to discuss the upcoming primary election for State Assembly in District 40. Incumbent assemblyman Ron Kim is being challenged by Steve Lee, a police officer backed by luxury real estate. Kevin and Kate uncover various allegations against Lee and the ways in which policing, gentrification, and media can be manipulated by special interests to disenfranchise vulnerable communities.
