#31 - Building Momentum w/ Natasha Josette

Political parties are stale, old and white. Big bold progressive ideas that are reshaping politics and, hopefully, the world are not necessarily coming from traditional political parties. And if they are, it's because of insurgent political forces, many times powered by outside groups. 

It's clear that these outside groups are exerting an incredible amount of influence to drive political party agendas, including groups like the Justice Democratcs who helped elect Alexandria Ocasio Cortez and the Sunrise Movement who've single-handidly put the Green New Deal on the political agenda.

In this episode of Cable Street, I talk to Natasha Josette a working group member and spokesperson for Momentum. They describe themselves as a people-powered, grassroots movement working to transform Britain in the interests of the many, not the few.

We discussed why she got involved in the organization, the role in plays vis-a-vis the Labour Party and the importance of Momentum in engaging with traditionally non-political people.
