Muslim Community Corner: Conversation with Senator Jessica Ramos on Labor Issues and Taxi Medallion Crisis

Published | Video Starts at 18:52

In the case of the Islamic community, you asking that our work pleases Allah, and all we're asking for is that dignity back. And so it's really astonishing to me that It takes Zoran and so many taxi drivers to be on hunger strike now, well over 10 days, and yet the mayor has not moved the muscle. So we need the community to move our muscles and make sure that we are pressuring the mayor to do the right thing before he leaves office. Yeah. (18:52–19:05)
