Gupta on Left Organizing

The authoritarianism of the Trump regime calls out for mass radical organizing, but with some exceptions, much of the left has not mounted a coherent response. Journalist Arun Gupta reflects on lessons from the last quarter century – from the Global Justice Movement to Occupy Wall Street, from the George Floyd protests to the Palestine Solidarity Movement, from the primary victory of Zohran Mamdani to immigrant communities’ militant resistance to ICE deportations.
