There’s a narrative that someone “like me” can’t mobilize a multiracial working-class coalition. After hearing this for the 100th time (mostly from political elites), it’s now obvious to me the people who believe that are actually the ones who can’t get passed their own biases
Listen, our campaign is first and foremost centered around getting political and economic power back on the side of working families. My strategy is to amplify working-class issues every chance I get regardless of what elites tell me I am capable of. See: My day in Toledo
I showed up to a strike against Stericycle on Friday morning and got a full download from workers about the issues they were facing and how Stericycle is screwing them over by increasing their healthcare costs.
I then went on the Rise and Grind Morning Show on @the419Grind which targets a slightly different demographic and talked about the @Teamsters strike.
I later attended a meet and greet that was made up largely of young people and women. And we had a whole discussion about it and encouraged everyone to keep up the pressure in their circles.
Ohio: We’re only going to win for our communities by letting go of the biases that political elites harbor and instead start writing our own chapter!

1/14 - I first started hearing about crypto, #Bitcoin , and blockchain when I was working at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. We had a lot of pressing issues causing real time harm so I’ll admit I wasn’t too plugged into this area
2/14 - Since then, this space has grown a lot. I’ve recently spent more time learning about Bitcoin and crypto and to be honest, I’m really interested in the possibilities for our state
3/14 - First, whether you’re pro or anti crypto, the most important thing is to read up on it and experience it. Make sure you understand the tech.
