Today’s guest is Jabari Brisport, an educator and member of NYC-DSA. Jabari is running for New York State’s senate in District 25. Earlier this year, he won the Democratic Party primary for this seat and he has been endorsed by people like Bernie Sanders and AOC. Jabari is going to talk to us about how democratic socialists can run successful electoral campaigns.
