Episode 208 - Oakley for Congress

Episode 208 - Oakley for Congress

This week, Roqayah and Kumars are joined by socialist congressional candidate and political organizer Imani Oakley, formerly legislative director for New Jersey Working Families, deputy chief of staff in the New Jersey State Assembly, and constituent advocate in the US Senate. She is also the first Dean of Movement Building at the Movement School and recently declared her candidacy in New Jersey's 10th congressional district, challenging four-term incumbent Donald Payne Jr. in the June 2022 Democratic primary.

Imani describes the experiences that galvanized her to get involved in policy making at the highest levels of government while pushing her further and further to the left, from witnessing police brutality in her neighborhood to working in the district office of Senator Cory Booker. Imani also talks about her work at Working Families, where she took on New Jersey's wildly corrupt ballot design, protesting the Biden administration's eviction inaction with Cori Bush on the Capitol steps, her vision for housing policy, her opponent's warm relations with ICE, and how she's taking on the notoriously entrenched New Jersey political machine.

You can follow Imani on Twitter @ImaniOakleyNJ10 and donate or find out more about how to get involved in her campaign at oakleyforcongress.com.
