Radical Democracy

…ch changed almost nothing — to an era of action-oriented protest. And this is very, very important. Protest is the defense, electoral politics is the offense. We have to do both, boldly and in tandem. We need do everything with the utmost creativity, and we can’t stop until we win.

And eventually, if you dive in deeply enough ­– and this is where the word “radical” becomes operative — you will connect to other movements. Eventually, when we see the environmental movement linked up with the undocumented and unafraid movement, linked up with Black Lives Matter, linked up with the peace movement and the abolitionist movement, at that point we can imagine a massive social movement that will move history forward.
