Thinking about Progressive Politics in Silicon Valley
What does a progressive Asian American and Latino American politics look like? And then we can refine using SV as a case study. In terms of fleshing out the question, I think there are two important themes that can be expressed in the following way (other ways too, this is just me brainstorming) :
1) At the heart of the term progressive is "progress". So how do we measure progress within and across our communities? What tensions are revealed and how should we approach them?
2) Can there be a progressive politics today that does not center interracial and inter-ethnic solidarity? What does solidarity mean in principle and, most importantly, in practice? How do we handle those areas where our interests diverge as well as where they converge? What kinds of structures can we build that are durable, flexible, and dynamic?
