Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

NYC Grocery Affordability, Racial Equity Plan & More w/ Mayor Zohran Mamdani
Q: How will you build and expand on this project within two years in a way that spreads affordability across the city?
Delivery is staged, with the first store opening in the Bronx by the end of next year, and a broader rollout tied to the city's ongoing racial equity agenda, incorporating input from the public and lessons from historical markets like La Marqueta and Weeksville to ensure the effort reaches diverse communities.
NYC Grocery Affordability, Racial Equity Plan & More w/ Mayor Zohran Mamdani
Q: Talk to us a bit about that [ NYC run grocery stores and the five-store plan].
The plan envisions five city-run stores, one in each borough, with a 30% discount on a core basket of goods, including fresh produce, meat, seafood, and other staples, translating to substantial monthly savings for New Yorkers and aligning with the racial equity framework guiding city services.
The Fight to Keep Public Dollars in Public Schools: Understanding Trump's Voucher Scheme and Its Impact on Education
Q: Could you explain what the voucher program is and why it matters for New York?
The voucher program would allow public dollars to subsidize private schooling, potentially draining funds from public schools and exacerbating inequities, especially for students with disabilities and those from marginalized communities. It would not be a simple 'school choice'—it risks reproducing segregation and weakening the public system essential to a robust democracy.

Q: What can listeners do to support the Greenwood cause?
Listeners are encouraged to visit justiceforgreenwood.org to donate, join the network, and support fundraising efforts such as the Greenwood 120 gala.
