Alexa Avilés Interviewed on WBAI by The Indypendent

The Indypendent's John Tarleton and Julia Thomas interview Alexa Avilés, a democratic socialist running for city council seat in District 38. A mother of two teen-age daughters and a member of her local community board, she has been slammed by her detractors as a “danger” to her community for supporting cuts to the NYPD’s $6 billion annual budget. Some of New York’s wealthiest men are pouring hundreds of thousands of dollars into races where the left is running strong candidates, like Avilés's.
