Is Social Socialism a Threat? A Conversation with DSA North Texas Co-Chair Brenda

In this episode of Workers Beat Extra, host Gene Lantz sits down with Brenda, co-chair of North Texas Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), to discuss the media's portrayal of democratic socialism, grassroots political organizing, and the growing influence of socialist candidates in American politics. They dive into local and national campaigns—including Medicare for All, anti-ICE organizing, and public transit ballot measures—while exploring why direct, community-level conversations and listening to working-class needs are driving the movement's success.
