Featuring Alex Han, Asha Ransby-Sporn, and Alderwoman Jeanette Taylor on Chicago&#8217;s left political experiment. In the wake of Zohran&#8217;s remarkable victory in New York, organizers all over the country are taking a close look at Chicago under Mayor Brandon Johnson. A Chicago Teachers Union leader elected in 2023, Johnson&#8217;s win was the culmination of years of militant labor and social movement struggle. But while much has been achieved, Johnson and his allies have also suffered many defeats&#8211;and the mayor&#8217;s approval ratings are alarmingly low. In this episode, three long-time local organizers, including a socialist member of city council, analyze the state of the left&#8217;s bid for governing power and what broader lessons it holds. Recorded live in Chicago.
