Jesse Sharkey speaks in this session recorded at Socialism 2023. The movements in Chicago were key to electing a new mayor–Brandon Johnson, and will be key to building grassroots power going forward. Former CTU President Jesse Sharkey will discuss lessons from the CTU’s experience of strikes and campaigns over the previous decade and what these mean for building the organizational strength of our grassroots movements and winning what we need.
