In 2017 Jabari Brisport ran a powerful, insurgent campaign as a socialist for New York City Council. He didn’t win, but since then NYC DSA has an impressive string of electoral victories. Has NYC DSA built enough electoral power to get socialists elected to City Council? What about the White House?
It’s one week after one of the biggest progressive upsets in NYC electoral politics in a generation. Votes are still being counted, but it’s possible that progressives and socialists have propelled Tiffany Cabán to victory and reshaped NY politics and criminal justice for years to come.
We’ll talk about the final vote counting process underway right now (and how you can help!), as well as an analysis on what this means for the criminal justice movement, the dwindling Queens Machine, and DSA.

Sex work is work and we must protect sex workers by decriminalizing their work. We talk to Jessica Raven, steering committee member for Decrim NY, along side Tracy and Maya, sex workers who are organizing within the sex trade. This effort is targeting Albany now, but pushing further not just for decriminalization of the sex trade, but decarceration of sex workers who are already in jail, vacating the sentences of people who have already been prosecuted and de-stigmatizing sex work.
