Democracy in Color with Steve Phillips

A Third Party on the Rise with Maurice Mitchell


Listen Later

Are you curious about what a truly powerful (and progressive) alternative political party could look like in the U.S?

National Director of the Working Families Party Maurice Mitchell returns to talk about what it means to create a multiracial and multicultural progressive, working-class party and what that looks like strategically within a two-party system.

He discusses WFP’s 25-year history, the inspiring slate of elected officials they’ve championed, and the party’s first national convention in Philadelphia back in October. Maurice shares his take on the connections between the movements of today and the Civil Rights Movement of 1965 and how he’s thinking about the upcoming election year.

He also shares how he stays connected to his love of music and the artist within.
