In this pre-election roundtable, recorded just days before November 3, 2020, Laura checks in with the US’s most enduring social critic, MIT professor emeritus, Noam Chomsky, and sits down with three dedicated activists whose visions for change extend well beyond this single election. They discuss how they reconcile the need for long-term, systemic change and vigorous social justice movements, with elections, voting and electoral politics. Our guests are: Former New York gubernatorial candidate, attorney, and associate professor of law at Fordham University, Zephyr Teachout, Jackson, Mississippi-based organizer and movement strategist Makani Themba Nixon, and Emmy Award-winning journalist and anchor of Latino USA, Maria Hinojosa.
