    Let's Talk - Ep #38 Charles Booker on the Power of Progressive Politics

    As we inch toward the general election in November, progressive politicians across the country have been fighting to address inequities that have been exacerbated by the devastating impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and incidents of police brutality. Representative Charles Booker is one of those progressives, a legislator from Kentucky who gained national recognition after narrowly losing a high-profile Senate bid in June. On this episode, he talks about gaining a critical mass of support for progressive policies like Medicare for All and the Green New Deal, his strategy for building broad coalitions of voters, and his new advocacy group, Hood to the Holler, which you can find at https://hoodtotheholler.org/
