In this special session hosted by Ash Sarkar, we’ll be hearing live from two titans of progressive politics from both sides of the Atlantic. Diane Abbott MP and Rep. Ilhan Omar have for years fought relentlessly for a transformative political agenda which puts power into the hands of working people and fights back against racism and nationalist populism. In doing so, they have inspired millions to join the struggle for a world transformed. In this event they will be reflecting on their experiences of pursuing this political vision through establishment structures and sharing perspectives on where the Transatlantic left goes from here.
Ilhan Omar is a US Congresswoman for the Democratic Party, representing Minnesota's 5th District.
Diane Abbott is the Labour MP for Hackney North and Stoke Newington. Former Shadow Home Secretary.
