Episode 224: Don’t Get Distracted
L. Joy also gives us a brief explainer on what members and delegates do at the NAACP’s annual convention. Then Rep. Ro Khana joins her back at the front of the class to discuss how we block out the noise and get focused on what is important going into campaign season, what Congress is doing that we may not know about, and you’ll hear from L. Joy’s summer intern Alana who has a great question for our guest.
