Gender Is the Story with The 19th News’ Chabeli Carrazana

Democracy in Color with Steve Phillips

The 19th News’ childcare and economy reporter Chabeli Carrazana discusses the unique beat she’s formed and why reporting on the economy from a gender lens matters.

Chabeli explains how the COVID-19 pandemic disproportionately impacted women of color, and she discusses the challenges faced by immigrant childcare workers in the wake of Trump’s immigration crackdowns. She shares the undue burden LGBTQ+ mothers face when it comes to healthcare, and she gives insight into the groundbreaking universal childcare program implemented in New Mexico.

She also points to NYC mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s agenda as a possible model for the next wave of universal childcare.
