Building power to win for the working class isn’t simply a theory. People have been doing it for years.
JaNaé Bates, Co-Executive Director of ISAIAH and Faith In Minnesota, explains the strategy for improving the lives of working people that put Minnesota on the political map.
We talk about the work behind a miracle; how risk and failure are necessary for success; flanking imperfect politicians with power not money; and how the Minnesota Miracle is available for working people everywhere.
And ultimately, why organizing over the long haul, not simply mobilizing for urgent political moments, will lead to a more unified multi-racial, working class electorate.
