In Chicago, a Socialist Teacher Takes on the Entrenched Political Machine – Jacobin

City Council candidate Ambria Taylor says, "Chicago saved my life in a lot of ways. Urban areas have public transportation, they have dense development where you can walk to get what you need, where you can get to a job without a car...Experiencing all that defined me. It’s why I’m so committed to protecting public goods like affordable public transportation and affordable housing. It’s why I’m a socialist."
