Ep8: Judith Whitmer & Pia Gallegos on Building Power on the Left
Building power on the left isn’t easy. Progressives and leftists are opposed by not just the GOP, but also corporate-backed Democrats, corporate-backed media, and countless establishment institutions that aggressively fight to uphold the status quo.<br /><br />So then how did Judith Whitmer and a slate of Bernie-backing progressives sweep the recent Nevada Democratic Party elections? What does Whitmer’s victory mean for Nevada Democrats? How are other states, like New Mexico, building progressive power? And what lessons can progressives learn and apply to our own local and state parties?<br /><br />Judith Whitmer, Chair of the Nevada Democratic Party, and Pia Gallegos, Co-founder of the Adelante Progressive Caucus of the New Mexico Democratic Party discuss building power for progressives and left in their own state Democratic Parties.

Ep6: Kenzo Shibata On Why Rahm Emanuel Must Be Rejected for ANY Position in the Biden Administration
Join our team or progressives challenging the Joe Biden Administration at <a href="https://nohoneymoon.org/take-action" rel="noopener">https://nohoneymoon.org/take-action</a>/<br />Donate to help keep us going at RootsAction.org<br />Please LIKE this video and SUBSCRIBE to support our content. <br /><br />Rahm Emanuel is now being floated as a potential ambassador to Japan or China.<br /><br />This is a huge mistake. Rahm Emanuel’s history should disqualify him from receiving an appointment to ANY position in the Biden Administration.<br /><br />A major disqualification for Emanuel is his handling of the killing of Laquan McDonald, a black teenager shot and killed by a white officer in Chicago, when Emanuel was Chicago’s mayor. While Laquan’s family were privately grieving their loss, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel's adminstration was figuring out how to keep the video footage of Laquan’s shooting from seeing the light of day — so it wouldn’t harm his reelection campaign.<br /><br />And there’s more: Rahm Emanuel closed half of Chicago’s mental health clinics, eliminated the city’s Department of the Environment, blocked investigations into lead contamination, artificially raised high school graduation rates, closed 50 black and brown schools, attacked the teachers union and was outspokenly hostile to teachers, subsidized luxury developments, oversaw massive housing failures, did not deliver on the majority of his infrastructure promises, and so much more.<br /><br />Kenzo Shibata is an activist who writes and teaches in Chicago. He's a founding member of the Caucus of Rank-and-File Educators and hosts the Class Time Podcast.<br /><br />#NoHoneymoon #VoteTrumpOut #m4a #Progressives #GreenNewDeal #BlackLivesMatter #GeneralStrike
