In the first episode of the Democracy in Crisis podcast, hosts Baynard Woods and Marc Steiner speak with Payam, one of the organizers of a protest at Baltimore's BWI airport, about the Trump administration's indefinite ban on people from seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the US, and his own family's immigration experiences. Payam is a teacher and a grassroots organizer (he asked not to use his last name to protect his family).
