Latest Podcast: A New Broom Sweeps Brooklyn’s Democratic Party Clean
A reform movement in Brooklyn’s Democratic Party has won elections, prevailed in lawsuits and is on the verge of taking power. An effective Democratic Party must have a set of building blocks from the ground up, through county committees, district leaders, and party organizations to meaningfully exercise power, and with that power to create a fair and just society, with leaders people can be proud to vote for who have integrity. That’s why there’s a point to all of this. In this episode, Jim discusses the meaning of a potential reform victory in the Brooklyn Democratic Party with the two progressive district leaders in the 44th Assembly District, Diana Gonzalez and Emmitt Sklar.
