Washington DSA member Joshua Collins' digital campaign is courting pissed off young voters.


As a record number of Americans filed for unemployment due to millions of jobs being lost due to the COVID-19 pandemic, rent was still due April 1st and it’s going to be due again on May 1st. However, there are dozens of grassroots organizations planning and executing rent strikes and rent freezes nationwide. 


There’s at least one congressional candidate who sees this as a very big issue and is part of his platform. Today, we’re joined with Joshua Collins. He’s from Washington state and he’s seeking to occupied the seat currently held by Democrat, Denny Heck, who is not seeking reelection. This is for Washington state’s 10th congressional district and Joshua joins us today from Tacoma.
