Strange Bedfellows Ep. 11: Nick Brana of The People’s Party

This Saturday night (9-11 P.M. Eastern) we welcome Nick Brana to Strange Bedfellows.

Nick Brana is an organizer of the Rage Against The War Machine coalition and National Director with the Movement for a People's Party, the national nonprofit at the helm of the rapidly growing movement for a new progressive political party in America.

The Movement for a #PeoplesParty is building a coalition of labor and progressive organizations for a nationally-viable party for working people. Formerly Draft #Bernie, MPP was founded in 2017 by Bernie 2016 staff, delegates and supervolunteers.

Nick was the National Political Outreach Coordinator with Bernie Sanders presidential campaign, where he lobbied the superdelegates and elected officials for Bernie, organized his political meetings, and planned convention activities. He went on to become a founding member of Our Revolution and its first Electoral Manager, where he created an endorsement plan and assembled the candidates.

Before that he was the Deputy Director of Voter Protection on Terry McAuliffe’s gubernatorial campaign and worked on then-Sen. John Kerry’s PAC. He earned his BA in sociology and environmental policy at William & Mary and lives in Virginia, outside of Washington D.C.

On tonight's show we will also introduce Nick to my co-host Rick Walker, a longtime active organizer with the People's Party of #Canada (#PPC). Should the People's Parties of the USA and Canada join forces as this movement continues to grow rapidly across North America?
