What's Next, Los Angeles? with Mike Bonin

Jackie Goldberg: Lessons from a Life on the Frontlines


Listen Later

On the eve of her retirement after six decades of public service, Jackie Goldberg reflects on the history she made as an organizer and an elected official, and offers insights an advice to a new generation of activists. 

Goldberg is ending a career that stints on the Los Angeles school board, the Los Angeles City Council and the California State Assembly. She has been a trailblazing LGBT official and a key progressive leader. In a wide ranging interview with Mike, Jackie shares a history rich with lessons about persistence, collaboration, and staying true to your values. 

Mike and Jackie sat down to talk on November 18, her 80th birthday. The next day, she led the LAUSD board to pass emergency resolutions protecting immigrants and members of the LGBTQ+ community from the incoming Trump administration.


What's Next, Los Angeles? is produced and hosted by Mike Bonin, in partnership with LA Forward.
