Guests:
- 7:08 Kate Kizer, director of policy and advocacy at the Yemen Peace Project
- 7:33 Miguel Santiago, Assemblymember representing California’s 53rd district, which includes downtown Los Angeles
- 7: 33 Mark Leno, recently termed-out state State Senator who has represented San Franciscans in both chambers of the legislature, and on the city’s board of supervisors
