Our Revolution Board Chair Larry Cohen had choice words for the DNC ahead of January’s Winter Meeting in Philadelphia, where our growing progressive bloc is pushing to ban dark money from primaries.
Larry, a longtime labor leader and party reformer, laid out the stakes on our National Organize-to-Win Call on Monday.
“If we don’t get the dirty money out, it becomes increasingly impossible to elect the grassroots challengers,” Larry said. “It’s not just about the rulers, it’s also the rules.”
“For those of us who believe we must fight in every possible way to advance progressive issues and win real power, we ignore party reform at our peril,” Larry wrote in In These Times.
