Mobilize Producer Betsy Nagler wraps up Season 2 with an interview with her father, Stephen Nagler, who was executive director of the New Jersey ACLU and then the Migrant Legal Action program in D.C. Stephen spent a large portion of his life fighting for those who were being denied the protections of the Bill of Rights-- establishing the types of precedents that the Trump administration now seeks to overturn. We explore the role activism played in Stephen's life, and discuss how how he feels about the activism of the current era. https://www.mobilizehere.com/podcast/2019-03-15-mobilize-dont-be-a-paper-tiger/

Mobilize producer Betsy Nagler interviews Catalina Cruz about her New York State Assembly campaign for District 39, a district she’s proud to call "rich in that immigrant soul." Cruz shares the inspiring story of how she went from being an undocumented Dreamer to a leader who fights for change in her community, and how she wants to be model of what it means to a public servant rather than a politician in the Trump era. https://www.mobilizehere.com/podcast/mobilize---episode-17---catalina-cruz-a-dreamer-for-queens/

Mayday 2018

Mobilize producer Betsy Nagler interviews New York State Senate candidate Alessandra Biaggi about her campaign to unseat Jeff Klein, the former leader of the Independent Democratic Conference. While the IDC's eight members just made a deal to reunite with the mainline Senate Democrats, they have spent that past eight years caucusing with Senate Republicans and blocking progressive legislation in order to gain money and power for themselves. Biaggi is running against these "fake Democrats" as part of a wave of new, progressive candidates now stepping up to run for office throughout the country, and fighting back against the Trump agenda. https://www.mobilizehere.com/podcast/mobilize---episode-16---new-leadership-and-new-solutions/
