A conversation with Rep. Ruwa Romman

Saturday morning we set aside 45 minutes or so for a long-overdue catch-up, and I decided the entire dialogue needed to be it's own episode. Georgia's lone Palestinian-American elected official - Rep. Ruwa Romman (D), representing the 97th House District in Gwinnett County, offered insights on a range of issues: Georgia's antisemitism definition bill soon to be signed into law and attached to its current hate crime law, Biden's disfavor within the Arab American community, what UNRWA is, does, and why defunding it is particularly cruel in this moment, the atrocities Gaza citizens are enduring and why the term "ceasefire" seems to be misunderstood when it's called for.
