Show Notes
Community organizer Kennedy Bartley has long been familiar with Chicago City Hall.
But never before has she had the type of access she and her group – U-W-F, United Working Families – do under Mayor Brandon Johnson.
28-year-old Bartley finds herself at the helm of a progressive political powerhouse during an unprecedented time – when Johnson is vowing to quote- “co-govern” with those who helped elect him.
