WEEKEND QUOTABLES


Ocassio-Cortez at Netroots: “Our swing voter is not red to blue. It's non-voter to voter." 

Anoa Changa at Netroots
“I think Trump’s win scared the shit out of everybody. I think it’s been a wakeup call for a lot of people that we have to invest. We can’t just do the traditional model where we only talk to super-voters.”
That doesn’t mean ignoring whites and Trump voters. Instead, "it’s rejecting the notion that our way to victory is having a centrist, moderate right-leaning strategy that feels like we could peel off Romney Republicans, versus investing in communities of color, marginalized groups and progressive white people." -- The Atlantic
Unite the Right comes to D.C.
Jackie Jeter ATU Local 689 President 
“More than 80% of Local 689’s membership is people of color, the very people that the Ku Klux Klan and other white nationalist groups have killed, harassed and violated. The union has declared that it will not play a role in their special accommodation.” -- Think Progress
Michael Jordan
"I support L.J.," Jordan told NBC News through a spokesperson. "He's doing an amazing job for his community." -- The Hill 
Elijah Edwards, Pres. AFSCME Local #2858
Since the Janus decision, "District 31's membership has gone up..." -- Hitting Left
Kimberly Wasserman, executive director of the Little Village Environmental Justice Organization
“There’s been enough injustice done in different communities. We’re starting to fight back.”
