About this listen

On this episode, Conrad and Imani discuss Conrad’s run for State Assembly. Conrad is a Harlemite and proud Democratic Socialist running in the upcoming 2026 election for Assembly District 70. He shares his personal story and his vision for Harlem. Conrad explains how, as a public defender, he stood with and defended people who have suffered under state violence and won battles many believed were lost causes. He also discusses how his work as a union organizer and his role as a member of his union’s executive board, serving as the Black Caucus representative, led him to run for office. Conrad shares his belief in building collective power and using a bully pulpit to challenge the forces that divide us. He emphasizes that, despite our differences, we are all part of the same class when we consider the undeserved power wielded by billionaires and corporations. He believes we are far stronger together. Conrad knows that our system can change only when we understand that whether we are Black, White, Queer, Trans, Immigrant, or Native, we are all working class. Hopefully, after listening to this episode, you will be inspired to learn more about local politics and support Conrad in his run for State Assembly.
