Not since the 1960s has there been so much grassroots activism on the left. One sign of that renaissance has been the emergence of the Working Families Party as an important national player in progressive politics. Going from a small regional third party, mostly focused on one state, today the Working Families Party is striving to build power in 11 States, with a mission focused on creating a strong, multiracial working-class movement. It's more prominent and better funded than ever before.
Maurice Mitchell became the National Director of the Working Families Party in 2018. Host David Callahan spoke with Maurice on the nature of grassroots organizing, and how a third party like Working Families can make an impact in our two-party electoral system.
Inside Change is produced by David Callahan and Kayan Tara.
