Four of the five candidates endorsed by the Chicago Democratic Socialists of
America either won outright or advanced to the runoff election on April 2,
leading to talk of a Socialist Caucus on the city council. And other
progressive candidates throughout the city knocked off corporate-friendly
incumbents. Dan passes the mic to guest host Micah Uetricht for an interview
with United Working Families Executive Director Emma Tai and In These Times
web editor Miles Kampf-Lassin on how years of grassroots organizing—and
partnerships between labor and community groups and socialists—can produce a
sea change in urban politics.
