In this episode of Black Work Talk, Steven Pitts and his co-host, Toussaint Losier talk with NTanya Lee, National Secretary of LeftRoots, a national organization of social movement organizers and activists. We began by reviewing the landscape of the Black Left today and continued by discussing the distinctions between the Black Left and Black Lives Matter activism. We later talked about the need for a liberatory strategy so as to better support current activists and better achieve gains that allow us to improve the Black working class lives today AND build power for tomorrow. We closed by discussing how LeftRoots sees itself in the broader Black movement organizational ecosystem and some of its current work.
