Ep 379 - Graciela Guzmán, IL State Senator and Community Health Advocate

The guys are joined by Graciela Guzmán, the State Senator for Illinois' 20th District on the Northwest Side of the city. A former organizer with a focus on health equity and economic justice, Graciela won her election last year over establishment candidate Natalie Toro, who had raised over four times as much as Graciela had. She joins the show to talk about the inner workings of the state legislature, how the fight for health care needs to be a centerpiece of all movement struggles, and her journey to find strength in her voice as a representative for her people.SHOW NOTESConnect with State Sen.
