They are four of the record numbers who organized grassroots campaigns, rejected corporate PAC money and challenged the notion that everyday people can run successful campaigns against sitting incumbents. Collectively these candidates herald a cultural and political shift to transform the process of running and electing our representatives. Such changes do not occur in a vacuum, nor are they about a singular issue. Rather they about changing the attitudes, behaviors, terms, and outcomes of existing and entrenched norms and building towards a more inclusive and representative government. 4 LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR, RACHEL LEARS I’ve been making films about politics since the days of Occupy Wall Street. After having a baby in 2016, I thought I might take a break from political filmmaking—but the day after the election, I knew I had no choice.

  • 2020 Election Year Is an Opportunity for Transformational Change If We Embrace Our Power | Dissident Voice
    4/26/2020 2020 Election Year Is an Opportunity for Transformational Change If We Embrace Our Power | Dissident Voice About DV Archives Donate Contact Us Submissions Books Links 2020 Election Year Is an Opportunity for Transformational Change If We Embrace Our Power by Kevin Zeese and Margaret Flowers / April 22nd, 2020 Although we do not tie our organizing to the election cycle, the 2020 election is an opportunity for the people to set the agenda for the 2020s. We need to show that whether Donald Trump or Joe Biden are elected, the people will rule from below. We need to build our power to demand the transformational we need. We are living in an opportune time, as has existed previously in the United States when many of the issues people have fought for have come to the forefront, but the two parties disregarded the people. Similar to the abolition movement in the 19th century and the progressive/socialist movement in the early 20th century, this is our moment in the 21st century for systemic changes that fundamentally alter our healthcare system, economy, foreign policy, environmental policy and more. As Kali Akuno of Cooperation Jackson said in our recent Clearing the FOG interview (available Monday), the right- wing is using this time to push through their agenda of corporate bailouts, deregulation, and worker exploitation. If the left doesn’t organize and counter this, the country will continue on its current destructive path. The changes we want won’t come from the top. Both corporate duopoly candidate’s priorities are the wealthy investor class and big business.

  • Populism in a Divided America Stephen Richardson
    CONTRIBUTOR BIO STEPHEN RICHARDSON is a third year political science student, concentrat- ing in pre-law, and is a member of the Cal Poly Marksmanship Club. Stephen is a Marine veteran who was stationed in Okinawa, Japan from 2009-2011. Stephen hopes to eventually pursue a career in international law or diplomacy focused in national security. POPULISM IN A DIVIDED AMERICA Stephen Richardson “It’s the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, Black, White, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been just a collection of individuals or a collection of red states and blue states. We are, and always will be, the United States of America.” — Former President Barack Obama’s 2008 Victory Speech Former President Barack Obama most likely did not foresee how ironic this quote would become when he took the stage in Chicago after his historic 2008 election. Americans are now more divided and polarized than he could have imagined. Cultural divisions and political partisanship have been reaching fever-pitch, as a wave of populism has swept through Europe and the United States, fanning fears of demagoguery. With Brexit in the United Kingdom, and President Trump’s shocking victory in the US, many mainstream observers fear that fascism is both spreading through and threatening liberal democracies.1 1 Sheri Berman, “Populism is not Fascism: But it Could Be a Harbinger.” Foreign Affairs, December, 2016, 39. paideia Fascism is profoundly different than populism, and attempts to claim that recent events equate to fascism are exaggerated and incorrect.

  • The ‘Justice Democrats’ Are the Brains
    The ‘Justice Democrats’ Are the Brains Behind Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Who Was Recruited from a Pool of 10,000 Contestants Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) was recruited by the Justice Democrats, a group of radical leftist and socialists, that auditioned over 10,000 people to run as their candidate in Congress. The Justice Democrats intend to takeover the Democrat Party by ‘primarying’ out establishment Democrats and replacing them with hundreds of radical socialist puppets. The Justice Democrats, backers of the Green New Deal and open borders, intend to take over the Democrat Party, Congress and then the entire United States. Seven candidates endorsed by the Justice Democrats were elected to Congress in the 2018 interim elections. Two former Bernie Sanders strategists and Cenk Uygur of the Young Turks appear to be pulling the strings, but it is unclear who is funding the enterprise. Zack Exley, a key player in the Justice Democrats, was a fellow at George Soros’ Open Borders Foundation. Summary by JW Williams Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) was chosen by the Justice Democrats, a group of radical leftist and socialists, that auditioned over 10,000 people to run as their candidate in Congress. The Justice Democrats are employing a strategy of taking over the Democratic Party by ‘primarying’ establishment Democrats out of office by running hundreds of charismatic opponents against incumbent Democrats that they do not own. After taking control over the Democrat Party, they intend to control Congress and then the United States. In the recent 2018 elections, the Justice Democrats endorsed 79 candidates in Democrat primaries, and 26 of them advanced to the general election and 7 won seats in Congress.

  • El Legado De Bernie Sanders Y La Batalla Por El 2020
    El legado de Bernie Sanders y la batalla por el 2020 Imprimir A Federico Gyurkovits, por su interés en el tema Las elecciones presidenciales de 2016 fueron un gran revés para los movimientos progresistas en Estados Unidos. Pero la campaña del senador independiente por Vermont, Bernie Sanders, en las primarias internas del Partido Demócrata, deja un legado importante para esas organizaciones que conviene revisar con más cuidado. Apenas tres días después de la toma de posesión de Donald Trump como presidente de EU (el 20 de enero de 2017), se funda la organización ‘Demócratas por la Justicia’ (‘Justice Democrats’, en adelante JD). Sus dirigentes son Cenk Uygur, Kyle Kulinski (del programa Secular Talk), ambos comentaristas políticos ligados al programa creado por el primero, The Young Turks (TYT), y algunos dirigentes de la campaña presidencial de Bernie Sanders, entre ellos, Corbin Trent, de Brand New Congress, y Saikat Chakrabarti, ahora jefe del equipo de Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, la nueva representante demócrata por el 14º distrito de Nueva York, a la que nos volveremos a referir más adelante. A partir del año pasado, la directora ejecutiva de JD es Alexandra Rojas, otra mente brillante a la que habrá que seguir muy de cerca. El diagnóstico y la solución Justice Democrats parte del supuesto, adecuado desde mi perspectiva, de que la mayor parte de la población aprueba las políticas progresistas que ellos enarbolan, entre ellas el Nuevo Pacto Verde (https://www.alainet.org/es/articulo/198137), un sistema de salud universal (Medicare for all), educación universitaria pública y gratuita, y la abolición del Servicio de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas (ICE), que actualmente gestiona los centros de detención para migrantes y la política de separación y detención de infantes, implementada por el gobierno de Donald Trump, entre otras propuestas.

  • Inclusion of Frontline Communities in the Sunrise Movement Senior Honors Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the School of Arts
    Inclusion of Frontline Communities in the Sunrise Movement Senior Honors Thesis Presented to The Faculty of the School of Arts and Sciences Brandeis University Undergraduate Program in Environmental Studies Professor Brian Donahue, Advisor In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts by Phoebe Dolan April 2020 Copyright by Phoebe Dolan Committee Members Professor Brian Donahue Professor Sabine Von Mering Professor Gowri ViJayakumar Abstract Environmental activism and climate activism have a long history in the United States. Historically the membership of the environmental movement was white, old, educated and mostly male. This history led to the exclusion of communities of color, low income communities and indigenous communities from the mainstream climate movement. The Sunrise Movement is a youth climate movement, founded in 2017, fighting for the futures of young people in the face of the climate crisis. Sunrise has the unique angle of representing youth as a frontline to the future of the climate crisis, but as a movement how are they uplifting other frontline communities such as people of color, low income communities, island populations and beyond? How does the Sunrise Movement uplift and center frontline communities in their organizations, what are their tactics, where are they challenged and how are they succeeding? I interviewed 11 current leaders within the Sunrise movement and asked them if Sunrise succeeded at uplifting and centering frontline communities and where they were challenged. Common themes came up for many participants, Sunrise embraces storytelling as a form of narrative around climate justice, but they tend to tokenize frontline voices. Urgency is necessary for the Sunrise Movement to act on the climate crisis, but Sunrise must curb their speed in order to focus on inclusion as a movement goal.

  • Justice Democrats' Alexandra Rojas Wants to Rewrite Politics
    Justice Democrats’ Alexandra Rojas Wants to Rewrite Politics There’s no denying Latinas are making serious moves across the political map. But the real power players are not always in the spotlight. Alexandra Rojas is one Latina working to change the face of politics thanks to her role as executive director of Justice Democrats, which helped elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and other history-making women to Congress. Rojas talks about her political awakening, how she stays centered amid the chaos, and why she believes the future of the country depends on electing a new wave of leaders. ___________________________________________________________________________________ Clip (Alexandra Rojas): In a country of 330 million people, there are young women, like myself, there are working class people that deserve to be in the halls of power. Alicia Menendez: In 2018, a young Latina named Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez pulled off one of the most stunning upsets in modern political history, beating a 10-term incumbent from the same political party. A group called Justice Democrats helped engineer her victory and others. Now, they're hoping to replicate that success by running candidates against democratic incumbents they believe are not progressive enough. At the helm of Justice Democrats is another young Latina, Alexandra Rojas. Alex, thanks so much for being here. Alexandra Rojas: Thanks so much for having me. Menendez: Take me back to the moment in 2015 when you decided to drop everything and join the Bernie Sanders campaign. Rojas: Yeah, it feels like a lifetime ago. It hasn't even been four years yet, so let's set the stage a little bit.

To find out more about the candidates and their platform, visit their campaign website at howiehawkins.us (https://howiehawkins.us/). Hawkins spoke with ISP’s Lance Selfa on July 3. We’re talking on a day when the U.S. set a record another 50,000 cases of the virus, and in the middle of this huge uprising for racial justice. Can you tell me how your campaign fits into all of that and what are the main issues you are running on? The coronavirus pandemic has revealed to anyone who cares to look that the two governing parties in this country are presiding over a failed state. You know Trump gave up on COVID. He’s a loser, now he’s running around like Typhoid Mary, making his own people sick at these super-spreader rallies. And he’s losing support among his own people, he’s sinking like a rock in the polls. But then, where the hell is Biden? I mean Biden is in commuter distance from the White House press corps. He could convene a press conference and beat the hell out of Trump for failing to set up a test, contact trace, and quarantine the infected program like every other organized society around the world has done to suppress the virus.

  • EB Green New Deal
    Green New Deal Not Originally About Climate This article is from the “Edifying the Body” section of the Church of God Big Sandy’s website, churchofgodbigsandy.com. It was posted for the weekend of Aug. 24, 2019. A version of the article was posted at washingtonpost.com on July 10. Mr. Chakrabarti announced his resignation as chief of staff for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Aug. 2. By David Montgomery WASHINGTON, D.C.—On a Wednesday morning in late May, emissaries of two of the strongest political voices on climate change convened at a coffee shop a few blocks from the U.S. Capitol. Saikat Chakrabarti, chief of staff to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) [until Aug. 2], was there to meet Sam Ricketts, climate director for Washing- ton Gov. Jay Inslee (D), who is running for president almost exclusively on a platform of combating global warming. Complimented Inslee campaign A newly released plank of Inslee’s climate change agenda had caught the atten- tion of Chakrabarti and his boss, who had tweeted that Inslee’s “climate plan is the most serious and comprehensive one to address our crisis in the 2020 field.” Pleased by the positive reception from the demanding Green New Deal wing of the climate struggle, Ricketts had set up this meeting with Chakrabarti to establish a personal connection and share approaches to climate advocacy. “Congrats on the rollout,” Chakrabarti told him as they sat down. “That was pretty great.” “Thank you again for the kudos you guys offered,” said Ricketts. “We wanted to be pace-setting for the field, and I think we’re there now.
