Pritzker Fellow Gerardo Bonilla Chavez on "They Never Saw It Coming - The Squad: How They Won & a Template It Set for the Movement"

(Current UChicago Students Only)

Thursday, February 8

12:30-1:45 PM 

The 2018 primaries and general elections became a defining moment, but not one built out of isolation. Seminar two will contextualize the 2018 progressive wins in the larger historical progressive moment, examine on-the-ground strategies and challenges that led to this moment and dive into lessons learned for broader movement building into 2020. How did we get to the 2018 moment? How did the center of progressive policies and values shift, and how did electoral strategy, coalition history and building form the strategies for success?

Special Guest (via Zoom): Alexandra Rojas, Executive Director, Justice Democrats
