51. Brianna Wu on Jew Hatred in the Progressive Movement since 10/7

Stephanie speaks with Brianna Wu, a former congressional candidate in MA and present activist and fundraiser. They discuss running for office and post October 7 dynamics of the progressive movement, Jew-hatred, compassion, and inclusion. This was recorded before the events at Columbia, University (and other colleges and universities across the country), where protesters shouted their support for Hamas, killing Isreli civilians, and destroying Israel. Universities provided virtual learning and advised Jewish students to go home because they could not ensure the safety of the students. This conversation was raw, real, and emotional for both of us. She's been one of the most vocal supporters of Jewish Americans and Israelis (not the government) on social media. Briana references this article in the conversation. https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2024/04/us-anti-semitism-jewish-american-safety/677469/ You can find Brianna on Twitter @BriannaWu.
