In this episode we’re joined by Lateefah Simon, who just announced her election campaign for the 12th Congressional District seat that is being vacated by Barbara Lee. Lateefah Simon is a 25-year veteran organizer and nationally recognized advocate for civil rights and social justice. In 2016 – driven into politics by the tragic murder of Oscar Grant – Lateefah was elected to the BART Board of Directors, and has served there since. She was also appointed in 2020 as a senior advisor on police reform for California Governor Gavin Newsom.
