AOC’s Top 10 Book Recommendations
Take a peek into the mind of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is all over the media these days. She’s one of the most progressive congresspersons to enter US politics in decades.
She’s fiery, vocal, and a complete boss on social media — something many of her opponents simply cannot compete with.
She’s also known for pushing for ‘radical’ changes in the US:
- Medicare for all
- $0 tuition public college
- a federal jobs guarantee
- the Green New Deal
- and getting rid of ICE in the US (Immigration and Customs Enforcement)
