In our latest installment of Candid Conversations, I spoke with David Kim – children’s court attorney, social justice activist, and 2024 congressional candidate for California’s 34th District. During our conversation, Kim highlighted the need for the U.S. to take initiative and accurately call out the atrocities happening across Gaza as war crimes, halt arms deals with Israel, and prioritize the human rights of Palestinians as a fundamental responsibility– not an afterthought. He also focused on some of the other major concerns facing Americans’ minds and wallets – housing, food insecurity, insurance, healthcare, among others. Noting that people are “in need of help right now,” Kim touched on his Life Empowering Policies, which include Universal Basic Income and Medicare for All, as a path to providing resources to meet the basic needs of every American and create a foundation of autonomy.
As November quickly approaches, much of the focus remains on the uncertainty surrounding the presidential election, but we cannot overlook the importance of local and state races. These positions are critical to uplifting our voices and directly shaping our communities. The Muslim vote matters, and now is not the time to turn away. We urge you to watch our latest conversation with David Kim and catch up on all of the videos in this series. By staying informed about the candidates, issues, and policies impacting American Muslims, we empower ourselves to make decisions that can shape a brighter future for generations to come. Stay tuned for more Candid Conversations!
