Power Concedes Nothing

Broadcast on June 9, 2022
Hosted by Chris Garlock & Ed Smith

How did our movements in the south flip key states against Trump, hold the line in Virginia, and make gains states like in Florida and Texas
against such great odds? The must-read book Power Concedes Nothing: How Grassroots Organizing Wins Elections” lays out the organizing work building up to the monumental 2020 election including what worked, what didn't, and how they approached the challenge of both "going broad" to win a crucial election and "digging deep" to build a base for long-term progressive change. Deepak Pateriya, Former Managing Director of Community Change Action, and a contributor to Power Concedes Nothing, joins us to discuss the book and the future of the struggle to win power at the ballot box.
Along with Vivian Chang, APALA's Civil Engagement & Racial Justice Coordinator and SEIU National Political Director Maria Peralta, Pateriya will be doing a book talk Tuesday, June 14 from 6pm – 8pm at the Takoma Park Busboys and Poets;

Produced by Chris Garlock; engineered by Michael Nassella.
