Alexa Aviles Interviewed on WBAI by The Indypendent
The Indypendent's John Tarleton and Julia Thomas interview Alexa Avil\xe9s, 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 \u201cdanger\u201d to her community for supporting cuts to the NYPD\u2019s $6 billion annual budget. Some of New York\u2019s wealthiest men are pouring hundreds of thousands of dollars into races where the left is running strong candidates, like Avil\xe9s's.
