episode How Indian American Leaders Defined a Historic DNC cover

Beskrivelse

We’re fresh off the heels of the DNC in Chicago, where we captured a powerful conversation between URL Media CEO Mitra Kalita and two trailblazing Indian American politicians: Arvind Venkat, Pennsylvania Representative, and Shekhar Krishnan, New York City Council Member. As the first Indian Americans to hold their offices, Arvind and Shekhar bring their identities and fresh perspectives to elected office. Their conversation focuses on the power of public service and what’s really at stake in this year’s election of Harris- Walz versus Trump- Vance. This podcast is a collaboration between Epicenter NYC and URL Media.

These three sites are the key to unlocking US history

URL Media, the start up devoted to Black and Brown media sustainability, recently hosted a day trip to Montgomery, Alabama. We mobilized media stakeholders to visit the Legacy Museum, which tells the story of the African-American experience from the Middle Passage to mass incarceration. Today Sara and Mitra are joined by Leonor Ayala, URL Media’s Chief of Recruitment to discuss how the Legacy Museum has changed their lives. Their work centers on creating a more just and equitable media ecosystem that centers Black and Brown communities. The trip preceded the Online News Association's annual convention in Atlanta, and underscores the importance of centering the truth of American history during this contentious election season.
