'For me, it’s about asking, 'Am I serving the people around me? Am I doing my best to make their lives better?''
On the 26th of June, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez sent shockwaves through cable news and beyond with her congressional primary upset of ten-term incumbent Joe Crowley. Now, as the country barrels toward the midterm elections, the 28-year-old Democratic Socialist’s campaign has become the playbook for how to effect change in a post–Donald Trump landscape: knock on doors, speak truth to power, and stand for what’s “right and good.
OCASIO-CORTEZ: I really connect with Martin Luther King Jr.’s concept of a moral universe—the idea that we can operate within a moral framework and tap into something powerful. Growing up in a community that’s so diverse, I felt really blessed to see all the different ways that our community taps into that same idea. Among all of these faiths, there’s a shared faith that’s very powerful.
OCASIO-CORTEZ: I’d have to check this, but I remember reading that the average worker in the United States generates about $60 per hour worth of value. But the average hourly income is far, far lower than that. So we definitely struggle with that today, and it’s not enough to say, “I’m a good person.
