Listen "Word on the Street with Congressman Ro Khanna"
Episode Synopsis
This week on Word on the Street Live, we sat down with Congressman Ro Khanna – and it was one of the most open conversations we’ve hosted yet.
Ro has always been willing to say things that many in Congress avoid: Calling for the US to recognize a Palestinian state, pressing for restrictions on arms shipments to Israel, championing Congressional War Powers and naming Gaza as a defining moral issue of our time.
We talked about the shifts happening on Capitol Hill and in the American public and about J Street’s role in these important changes.
We discussed why there is now a moment of opportunity to unify the Democratic Party on the issues of Gaza and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
And we spoke about a new letter he is leading - and that J Street is supporting - on American recognition of Palestine.
We also spent time on the bigger picture: How Democrats can reach across the aisle and connect with younger voters through new platforms and how to model the courage our politics so badly needs right now.
It was a conversation that felt honest, unguarded and rooted in a real desire to imagine something better.
