Nikhil Saval: The majority of work in Philadelphia is deliberately underpaid and undercompensated. He says we need a model centered on the Green New Deal to guarantee real wages and housing for service sector workers. Nikhil, Jim and Helen are all candidates for mayor of Philadelphia. They talk about how they plan to turn around their city's fortunes.
Featuring Nikil Saval and Helen Gym on how the history of Philadelphia social movements brought Nikil into the state senate and has made Helen, a long-time public education organizer, a frontrunner in the mayoral race.
