Without fail every major election year leads to a night in November where we’re all glued to a TV watching Steve Kornacki talk about what’s happening in Maricopa County. But what happens between those elections? What does the organizing look like on the ground? And, is the state red, blue, or purple? And how are activists getting folks not just out to vote but out taking action across the state? All of these questions and more are answered in this episode with Alejandra Gomez, Executive Director at LUCHA. The AZ focused organization that Alex leads is dedicated to making change happen in the state and bringing its members together to do so. They are the boots on the ground and the ears at the door, and this interview brings the insights learned thus far and what’s on the horizon.
