Julianna welcomes Brittany Ramos DeBarros to the show... a proud Afro-Latina Staten Islander, community organizer, and combat veteran who is running for Congress in New York’s 11th District. Brittany grew up in a deeply patriotic military family and entered the Army in order to help pay for college. DeBarros' time in Afghanistan changed her mind about war, as she came home angry, hurt, and feeling betrayed by a system that covered up greed and corruption with the veneer of freedom. She quickly realized that these same problems were happening at home, across the country and directly within her own community. DeBarros is determined to help lead the fight to build a better, more just world; the world that we deserve.
