Natasha chops it up with Emerge President A'shanti Gholar about creating the candidates we NEED, instead of us just accepting the candidates hand picked by party establishments.
Just because you want better candidates that better reflect what you stand for doesn't mean you just don't participate in this election. But we're all about preparing for the future and the now, too.
Candidate incubators, like Emerge, have been grooming relatable, amazing people in communities - who don't come into this as "politicians" - for high positions in government as well as local positions. And they've been super successful on the progressive front getting their well prepped candidates elected in droves - like Ayanna Pressley and Lucy McBath.
2020 is on par to have several more EMERGE candidates, now in the hundreds total, on ballots and winning. It's a whole movement and it's impressive AF.
Follow her on Instagram and Emerge on Insta too.
