Socialism in SoCal: Lalo Vargas Takes on the L.A. Political Machine

Lalo Vargas joins the show to discuss his campaign as the first openly socialist candidate for Los Angeles City Council District 14. Lalo, a high school science teacher, United Teachers of LA member, tenant organizer, and member of the Party for Socialism and Liberation is contesting the seat of disgraced Council member Kevin de Leon.

“This campaign is proposing an alternative to the Democratic party, to all of these politicians who have failed us time and time again […] we cannot trust them any longer and the alternative is a working class, socialist candidate.” –@laloforcd14
