Today we are thrilled to release our interview with Melat Kiros, a progressive candidate for Congress in Colorado’s 1st District. Kiros is running to unseat the longest-serving representative of Colorado’s current congressional delegation, Democrat Diana DeGette, and she is doing so with an unabashedly progressive platform. She has centered issues of affordable housing, healthcare, and money in politics throughout her campaign, and she has been outspoken against the genocide being perpetrated by Israel against Palestinians.

Topics discussed include:

* How to get money out of politics and fix corruption

* Why Democratic resistance to Trump thus far has been largely ineffective

* How the Democrats have failed on the genocide in Gaza and what to do about it

* Why the free market isn’t what the right-wing says it is
