October 13, 2022 - Max Politics Podcast: Racial Justice Proposals on the New York City Ballot

New York City voters can approve or disapprove three proposed City Charter amendments on the 2022 general election ballot. Questions 2-4 on the ballot for city voters (Question 1 is on the statewide Environmental Bond Act) are proposals from the New York City Racial Justice Commission. Jennifer Jones Austin, Chair of the Racial Justice Commission and President and CEO of FPWA, joined the show to discuss the three proposals as well as broader themes of social, economic, and racial justice in New York City.
