First Person: How the Left Is Cannibalizing Its Own Power

Summary

This podcast features a discussion with Maurice Mitchell, head of the progressive Working Families Party, about the internal conflicts and paralysis plaguing progressive organizations. He argues that movements like Black Lives Matter, while transformative, have sometimes led to infighting and an "identity crisis," as seen in the ACLU's past actions. Mitchell, whose own family experiences with hardship fueled his social justice passion, calls for a reckoning to overcome these internal divisions and effectively challenge powerful interests.
