In the conclusion of Leaders of a Beautiful Struggle's Post-Election Analysis, we share a panel discussion hosted by Baltimore Racial Justice Action (BRJA), held the week after the election.
Moderated by Julia Scott, the panel featured:
- Lawrence Grandpre, Director of Research at Leaders of a Beautiful Struggle
- Andy Ellis, Chairman of Baltimore for Democracy and 2026 Green Party candidate for Governor of Maryland
- Charlie Carter, long-time Baltimore community and political activist
Discussion topics included:
- The Left's anxiety around wielding power and the emotional toll of politics and criticism
- Likely outcomes of the 2024 election
- Using third parties to gain leverage over the Democratic Party
- The tension between class-first political models and the legacy of Black community activism
While the panel focused on Baltimore and Maryland, its insights offer valuable lessons for progressives nationwide, especially as they pivot to state and local politics after Republicans took control of all three branches of the federal government.
