In this episode our U.S. correspondent Michael Arria speaks to Huwaida Arraf, a Palestinian-American peace activist, human rights lawyer, and now candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives in Michigan.

Arraf launched her campaign to unseat an incumbent Republican. However, at the beginning of this year redistricting placed her in a race for an open seat.

Last week, Michael asked Huwaida about growing up in Michigan, how she first became an international peace activist, and why she’s now turned toward electoral politics.
