DESCRIPTION:Saikat Chakrabarti, who is running as a Democrat for California’s 11th 
 congressional seat that is\nnow held by Nancy Pelosi, will speak on lessons 
 he learned inside Congress about why big ideas\noften fail, and how 
 grassroots movements can break through entrenched political barriers. 
 His\nvision for making government work for ordinary people again, from 
 tackling housing and\naffordability crises to reining in corporate 
 influence. How progressive campaigns like Zohran\nMamdani’s in NYC and 
 now Saikat’s in San Francisco can inspire new voters, unite 
 communities,\nand win transformative change for us all.\n\nSaikat 
 Chakrabarti is a software engineer turned political strategist, best known 
 for co-founding Justice Democrats and serving as Chief of Staff to Rep. 
 Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, where he led the creation of the Green New Deal. 
 After building tools for Bernie Sanders’ 2016 campaign and helping elect 
 a new generation of progressive leaders, he now leads a policy think tank 
 focused on delivering economic prosperity through a clean energy future. 
 Today, he’s challenging Nancy Pelosi in San Francisco’s 2026 Democratic 
 primary to bring bold, new leadership to Congress.\n
