    Episode 211: Voting for the Right Democrats

    On Episode 211 of The Qasim Rashid Show: Primary season is upon us, and it is not just enough to vote for Democrats. We have to vote for the right Democrats—candidates funded by the people who stand for universal human rights and real accountability. It is critical that we raise our voices and elect leaders who condemn genocide, reject corporate money, demand healthcare as a human right and want to abolish ICE. If you have followed me for any period of time, you know that I'm making a priority to elevate strong voices running for Congress, people on the right side of the values we care about. This episode, I sit down with Reed Showalter, a fellow lawyer running for Congress in my home state of Illinois in the 7th Congressional District, and Chuck Park, running in New York’s 6th. Both are people funded, not corporate funded. Let’s get them elected this primary season. Thank you all for tuning in.

    Episode 209: Interview with Congresswoman Summer Lee

    On Episode 209 of The Qasim Rashid Show: Rep. Summer Lee of Pennsylvania’s 12th District has led the charge for the release of the Epstein Files. In my conversation with her she shares the behind the scenes strategy to successfully subpoena the DOJ—even with Democrats in the minority—to force their release. We also discuss the failure of corporate Democrats to sustain effective blockades to Trump’s extremism, and the critical need to get corporate money out of politics. Finally, I ask Rep Lee about her pick for 2028. You can also watch today’s episode on YouTube. Thank you all for tuning in.

On Episode 207 of The Qasim Rashid Show: On THE LEFT HOOK with Wajahat Ali, I share reflections from my weekend protesting the ground in Minneapolis, where I witnessed both the deep trauma communities are living with under ICE terror and the powerful resilience they are building in response. I detail why Minnesota has become a target for the Trump regime, and what its organizing model teaches us about confronting fascism with collective power across race, faith, and class. I also lay out why accountability of Republicans and corporate Democrats alike, abolishing ICE, and rejecting genocide abroad are not radical demands but the absolute floor for justice at home.

    Live from Minneapolis: Protesting ICE Out of Minnesota and Delta Stop Deportation Flights

    Today I stood in -20 degree temperature to bear witness and stand alongside interfaith leaders and community members united together in solidarity to demand that ICE stop terrorizing Minnesota. While it was painful to see interfaith leaders being arrested for peacefully protesting, I am grateful that I bore witness to this moment in history. I was struck by three things that I want to share with you all. Let’s Address This. * People are traumatized but they are not paralyzed. A community that has endured so much violence and loss, yet Minnesotans continue to lead with joy and humanity more than anything else. It is deeply inspiring. * These are American tax dollars that could be spent on the critical necessities that our communities are actually in need of. Americans need housing, food, shelter, clothing, healthcare. But instead, our tax dollars are being wasted on a police state. * Minnesota is showing us what all of us could be doing as organizers nationally. If leaders all around the country can manage to organize together and actually stand up to these ICE fascists, then we could have a meaningful chance—in fact, I believe a probability—of stopping them. It’s important to learn from what these community members are doing in Minnesota and lead by example within our own communities around the nation and push back. I’d also like to take note that the majority of leaders here today at Minneapolis Airport putting themselves out on the line, getting arrested, were white faith leaders. This is what using your white privilege looks like to protect your neighbors of all faiths and all colors and backgrounds. As always, thank you all for tuning in to Let’s Address This.
