Building Solidarity with USC Professor Manuel Pastor

For our final episode of the year, Manuel Pastor, University of Southern California professor of sociology and American studies and ethnicity, joins Steve and Sharline to discuss lessons learned from this year’s presidential election including how to understand Latino political identity and the role of narrative and messaging in building broad coalitions.    Manuel touches on the dangerous rise of technoauthoritarianism and shares his framework for how progressives can and should be thinking about geography and political strategy.  REFERENCES: Manuel Pastor - X: @Prof_MPastor & Bluesky: @profmpastor.bsky.social
