27:59Now PlayingThe fight against fascism and Trumpism in the U.S. rages on, and many incumbent Democrats have outed themselves as not being built for this moment. One of those Democrats is CA34’s representative Jimmy Gomez. Francesca spoke with community organizer Angela GonzalesTorres, an actual progressive who is primarying Gomez for CA34’s seat in the House. Learn more about her candidacy at
California has been a target for the regime’s most violent policies. ICE kidnappings are happening daily, on top of the economic policies that are designed to benefit Trump and his billionaire cronies. It is not enough for representatives like Jimmy Gomez to say they don’t like the regime’s actions, we need action of our own. And to do that, we need representatives who are building a tangible, working-class agenda.
We will never get that working class agenda from a guy like Jimmy Gomez, because he is funded by the same corporate lobbies as Trump. Not to mention all the AIPAC money he gets, which at this point is a non starter. Candidates like Angela Gonzales-Torres don’t take any corporate PAC money. She is running on an actual progressive agenda on affordable housing, climate action, funding education, and prison reform. It is no longer enough to just gesture towards these issues. We need real action now.
