The Vast Majority: Socialism in Chicago with Rossana Rodriguez

Six members of the Chicago Democratic Socialists of America won election to the Chicago city council last year. One of them is Rossana Rodriguez, elected as alderwoman of the 33rd ward on Chicago's Northwest Side. If you want the full backstory of Rossana's life, you can listen to the episode of The Dig that I guest hosted back in 2018: https://blubrry.com/jacobin/38881826/the-dig-rossana-rodrguez-sanchez-a-socialist-for-chicago/ We talked about what her eight months in office have been like, why she's supporting Bernie Sanders for president, and the continued battering of her native Puerto Rico by both weather and climate change and austerity. The Hurricane Maria relief fund that she mentions in the interview can be found here: https://www.mariafund.org/
