Welcome to another episode of the Doomloop Dispatch, the news show covering the worst parts of the San Francisco Bay Area. In this episode, Kevin interviews Gary Lucks, the founder of Progressive Action East Bay (PAEB) and Resistance Action East Bay (RAEB) Indivisible Group. A longtime Democratic activist and author, Gary just published “We Are The Power,” a guide for Democrats who want to win back the government by 2028. Gary taps into his decades of election experience to explain what regular folks need to do to help produce the Blue Wave that’s needed to kick out the fascists once and for all.
