 There’s a difference between performance politics and genuine attempts to move voters. Over the past year, we’ve heard a lot about the so-called “crisis” of the Democratic Party losing Black and Latino men. So I called three friends who are not only some of the sharpest minds in the party, they’re actually putting in the work. Chuck Rocha, Albert Morales, and Khalil Thompson have spent their careers fighting to make campaigns more inclusive, more effective, and more honest. And they sat down for one of the most necessary conversations At Our Table has ever had. As Khalil put it when he talked about his work with Win With Black Men last year:
That line hit me hard. Because too often, campaigns talk at our communities instead of with them. Chuck broke down one reason why his consulting firm Solidarity Strategies is different:
Reflecting on his career and how he’s doing things differently at Statara Solutions, Albert took it a step further:
And Khalil reminded us that all of this—from messaging to who’s in the room—comes down to leadership:
Bottom line: It’s not enough to win elections. We have to win trust. Because power doesn’t shift by accident. It shifts when we decide that inclusion isn’t just good optics, but good strategy. Pull up a chair for this one. You’ll walk away thinking differently about who’s shaping our politics and who needs to be. — Jaime You're currently a free subscriber to Jaime's Table.
