In Episode 72, we’re joined by Cecilia Guerrero, an organizer in Nashville, Tennessee, helping to innovate a new generation of socialist movement-building deep in the American South. We discuss what it’s like organizing in Tennessee, the fantastic gains being made by the new network of organizations springing up there — including an unprecendented wildcat union of Uber and Lyft drivers — and the many lessons to be learned for socialists operating in such an environment.

Part of the Quest for the Offline Left series.
