In our latest episode, we are excited to bring to all the Macheteymatistas out there an interview with close friend and comrade Luisa Martinez. Luisa is an organizer with the Democratic Socialists of America that is running for national leadership within the organization at their upcoming national convention. We start our conversation off with Luisa's own personal background early life growing up in South Florida. Luisa shares with us her background as an organizer and what brought her to the place she is today running for leadership in the largest socialist organization in the United States. She proceeds to give us a break down of DSA's most recent delegation to Brazil for the annual São Paulo forum meeting held this year in Brasília. This meeting was the first in which DSA was invited to observe and attend some of their workshops. Luisa also discusses with us the time she was able to spend in São Paulo with the Landless Workers' Movement and what lessons she believes can be brought back to the movement in the United States. We round out the conversation with a deeper dive on her campaign for DSA leadership and what exactly she believes she can help bring to DSA's National Political Committee. To support Luisa and her campaign, we encourage you all to check out more of Luisa and her work on her twitter @LuisaKnuckles as well as her campaign statement tinyurl.com/LuisaNPC.
