The Democratic National Committee’s Black Caucus chairwoman discussed being a “former Black Panther” at a town hall in Detroit on Saturday and explained how Democrats should mimic their “grassroots” community organizing strategies heading into the 2018 elections.
“I’m a former Black Panther,” Virgie Rollins stated. “When we talked about the movement … it was important for us to make people understand that it was about the movement for us, educating us.”
“We’ve got to be out here in masses this time in the midterms,” she continued. “It’s all about changing the Congress now.”
“They cannot win without black folks and women, so it’s up to us.”
