Faiz Shakir enters race for DNC chair calling for bold changes

Faiz Shakir, a progressive strategist and former manager of Bernie Sanders' 2020 campaign, has entered the race for Democratic National Committee chair. He criticized current candidates for lacking vision and failing to attract working-class support ahead of the DNC vote in two weeks. Shakir argues that the DNC should be more than a financial distributor. He envisions it as an "organizing army" that actively supports workers and engages grassroots efforts. He believes the party must adopt bold strategies to address corporate greed and connect with diverse communities. His candidacy has gained support from Sara Nelson, president of the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA. She emphasized the need for a leader who can rebuild the DNC and change the status quo to empower working people.
