Is Claudia Sheinbaum Showing the Left How to Win?

On this week’s Jacobin Show, David is joined by Iddo Elam, an Israeli refusenik who served prison time instead of serving in the IDF. He joins Jacobin to talk about resistance within Israel to the war on Iran.

Then we look toward Mexico, where President Claudia Sheinbaum has brought in a massive debt relief program. Jose Luis Granados Ceja and Jacobin contributor Kurt Hackbarth, both of the Soberania podcast, join us to break down what is working in Mexico.
