Airgo

If you live in the 33rd Ward on the Northwest Side of Chicago, you already know the political magic that's been built by this Alderwoman Rossana Rodriguez and her comrades. For everyone else, it's pivotal to see how a group of grassroots socialist-leaning organizers have built power from the streets to the House of Representatives, while still doing the job of meeting people's everyday needs. Rossana returns to AirGo to talk about how this power base has been constructed brick-by-brick, the billionaire meddlers in Chicago's politics, and how she and so many others built new capacity for liberation in the face of ICE's so-called "Midway Blitz" last year.SHOW NOTESListen to Rossana on AirGo in 2020 - https://airgoradio.com/airgo/2020/4/15/episode-233-on-the-line-with-ald-rossana-rodriguezAnd again in 2023 - https://airgoradio.com/airgo/2023/3/3/ep-318-rossana-rodriguez-returnsConnect with her office - https://33rdward.org/Link with the 33rd Ward Working Families IPO - https://www.workingfamilies33.org/Follow Ai
