Interviewing Representative Lisa Campbell, GA House District 35

In this episode, we pull back the curtain on the behind-the-scenes realities of Georgia state politics, including Democratic lawmakers repeatedly not being called on to speak, and we uncover how power dynamics inside the Georgia State Capitol shape policy decisions.

We also look at how these decisions ripple outward, from Kennesaw State University cutting DEI efforts and Black Studies, to the ongoing student loan crisis, gun violence, and the fight for truly adequate education.

This episode doesn’t soften the conversation. It asks why these issues persist in Georgia politics, and why real progress requires honest, uncomfortable conversations, not silence.

In this episode, we sit down with Chris Strickland, a doctor of social work, for a deep dive into what socialism actually looks like in the U.S. today, far beyond the stereotypes and political buzzwords.Together, we unpack Democratic Socialists of America (DSA): what the organization stands for, who it’s built to support, and why it matters in a moment defined by inequality. We talk about bootstraps culture, how it shapes our expectations of one another, and the real-world examples of socialism we interact with every day without even naming them.Chris also breaks down the often-overlooked intersection of race, class, and power within the socialist movement itself, and how oppression can show up even in spaces meant to challenge the status quo. In that context, we talk about the role of AfroSoc, DSA’s caucus for Black, Indigenous, and other people of color, which works to build a truly multiracial working-class base and elevate non-white leadership and community voices within the movement. We explore the differences between capitalism and socialism, unpack the “us vs. them” narratives that keep people divided, and discuss what all of this means for our role as organizers, neighbors, and activists working toward a more just future.If you’ve ever wondered what socialism in America truly looks like and what it means for our political future, this conversation is for you.
