We discuss  the strategy for electing from-the-gut economic populists who exude outsider vibes and who acknowledge that our system is broken. They are often outsiders who believe in issues such as protecting social security and taxing billionaires, which are super majoritarian issues. Outsiders can win in blue, purple, and red states.

Adam's civic action toolkit recommendations are:

1) Join effective groups like boldprogressives.org

2) Support a bold progressive candidate running for office

Adam Green is Co-Founder of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee (PCCC).
