Rejecting Corporate Money & Fighting for Working-Class LA with Angela Gonzales-Torres

We speak with Angela Gonzales-Torres, a community advocate and CA-34 congressional candidate taking on the political establishments. Raised in working-class Los Angeles, Angela shares her story growing up in Section 8 housing, being raised by a single mother after her father's deportation, and why she is running for Congress while refusing all corporate PAC and AIPAC money. Plus, in our ¿Qué Pasa? segment, we discuss federal waste on ICE spending, the rise of AI radio hosts in LA, and AOC's public egg-freezing journey. STILL TIME TO JOIN MIDDLE RAGED!!
