'ELECTORAL POLITICS NEVER SAVED ANYONE"

IN THIS NEW EDITION of The Empire Files, renowned Afro-Latinx activist and scholar Rosa Clemente sits down with Abby Martin to discuss her experiences running for Vice President of the United States, the betrayals of the Democratic Party, organizing under Obama versus under Trump, advice for new activists, identity politics and the viability of third party politics.

In the face of a resurgent far-right movement, backed by unleashed reactionary state forces, Clemente gives valuable insight into the challenges, strategies and tactics for a new era of organizing.
