Mitchell’s guest today is running for Congress from the 12th District in NYC, Pete Harrison. The following is a brief description of himself and a bit of his agenda. We’ll be discussing his platform and what he is intending to accomplish if elected.
Housing is a central piece of his platform and making housing equitable, affordable and fair for everyone, not just those who are in the upper-income brackets. But overall, Pete seeks economic and social justice in a way that would remind one of the platform of Presidential candidate, Bernie Sanders.
Peter has a Master's degree from Columbia University in Urban Planning where he studied tenant organizing and community land trusts. After graduate school, he began a tenant-organizing app. called Hombebody, built on a public benefit model in which the shareholders owned the company and its assets.
