The DSA’s Politicization of Public Office – City Journal

"Panelists—including ... Chicago Alderman Byron Sigcho-Lopez—described using elected office for movement purposes, and leveraging government and law as tools of resistance against what they called a 'white nationalist, patriarchal, MAGA, fascist project.' Chicago’s Sigcho-Lopez discussed elected socialists’ 'responsibility to open up our spaces to organize and organize and organize from the ground up, organize in every space you know.' He also praised local efforts like Los Angeles’s 'rapid response' network. That organization, trained by the far-left immigration-focused group Union del Barrio, is one of the nation’s most radical anti-ICE networks."
