“A Justified Impatience” (With New York City Councilmember Chi Ossé)

So you’ve gotten involved in a major political protest movement but you want to do more. What else can you do?

For Chi Ossé, an active organizer with the BLM movement working in nightlife, the drive to make change led into a successful city council bid, making Ossé the youngest member of the New York City Council and the youngest person ever to pass a bill in New York City. Ossé believes that local politics are the best place to begin the work of improving communities, cities, and the nation at large.
