We speak with activists, journalists, comedians, and other public figures who seek to make a positive change for their community.

Isiah James is a Democrat running for Congress in New York's 9th Congressional District, which is located entirely within Brooklyn.
Isiah is a decorated veteran of the Iraq War. In 2009, he was nearly killed by a grenade, and as a result of the blast, he suffers from permanent hearing loss, chronic migraines, and PTSD. Isiah later attended Brooklyn College, where he began organizing for tenants rights, access to affordable housing, and mentored returning veterans struggling with the transition to civilian life.
Isiah has a bold vision for NY-9. In his own words:
"It’s time to get central Brooklyn back to being unbought. It’s time we have someone in office who fights for the working class. It’s time we reject the notion that there is little we can do to change things or that the plight of working class people cannot be made better. Central Brooklyn deserves a fighter. Like so many of you, I’ve fought my entire life. And I’m ready to earn your support and take the fight to Washington."
