Prem Thakker sits down for a Q&A with activist Cameron Kasky, who just launched his primary bid for New York’s 12th congressional district to replace Democratic congressional veteran Jerry Nadler.

Kasky – a survivor of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas school shooting in Parkland, Florida and co-founder of the March For Our Lives gun control movement – has launched an unapologetically progressive candidacy. His platform advocates for universal healthcare, ending aid to Israel, abolishing the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (an agency the 25-year-old Kasky points out is younger than him), and taking on “AI Oligarchs.”

Prem will ask the 25-year-old about the crowded primary field he joins, his unabashed campaign platform, and the remaking of the Democratic party. They will also be taking your questions LIVE!
