Political Strategist Wilnelia Rivera: ‘The Democratic Party Has A Tepid Commitment Toward The Progressive Wing Of The Party’

Two local political strategists argue in a new essay that despite the notable challenges to organizing voter turnout in the midst of COVID-19, the pandemic also presents a different kind of opportunity for building a progressive coalition. The essay, ‘Rebuilding After COVID-19: Equality, Equity, And A Strong Social Safety Net,’ is part of a new anthology called ‘Turnout! Mobilizing Voters In An Emergency.’ To discuss, Jim Braude was joined by Wilnelia Rivera, founder of Rivera Consulting and former chief strategist for Rep. Ayanna Pressley's campaign.
