Join host Red on the Red Cyber Dragon Broadcast for a powerful and unflinching conversation with Maryland State Delegate Gabe Acevero. As an open Democratic Socialist, labor organizer, and one of the most vocal leftist voices in state politics, Gabe pulls no punches.

In this episode, we dive deep into what it means to be a socialist inside the Democratic Party and why he believes his role is to "expose the bullsh** and hypocrisy" to push the party to be its best self. We cover his ground-up journey from Trinidad and Tobago to the Maryland statehouse, his landmark legislative fights, and his vision for a truly equitable future.

We get into the weeds on:

• The Healthy Maryland Act: Why Maryland is the key state to win Single-Payer Medicare for All and how it could transform healthcare nationwide.
• Police Accountability: The ongoing fight for justice, from Anton's Law to ending qualified immunity and no-knock warrants.
• Building Working-Class Power: The urgent need for militant unions, a state-level Guaranteed Basic Income (GBI), and a $25 minimum wage.
• The Political Fight: His critiques of Governor Wes Moore's leadership, the internal battle between the Democratic Party's wings, and the importance of challenging establishment figures from the left.
• International Solidarity: His "Not On Our Dime" Act to defund illegal settlements in Palestine and the connection between global and domestic struggles.

This is a must-listen for anyone interested in the practical, on-the-ground work of building a leftist future, the challenges of pushing progressive policy in a blue state, and the unapologetic voice of a leader who is determined to fight for the working class.
