May Boeve talks with Maurice Mitchell, National Director of the Working Families Party, about the multiracial working-class insurgency reshaping American politics in real time. Together, May and Maurice unpack recent progressive victories from New York to Colorado, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and California, and what they reveal about a broader populist realignment already underway. Maurice also reflects on what movements need now: recruiting people into real work, becoming gracious winners, and building a bigger “we”.

Plus: Maurice shares how meditation helps him stay grounded, humble, and ready for the fight.
