Rising as a major working class champion, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) questions American crony capitalism. From her own service sector experiences to her work in Congress, AOC has battled for laws including a $15 minimum wage, universal healthcare, and student loan relief. Through the Green New Deal, she has argued for environmental sustainability and routinely challenged corporate power in politics. AOC’s relentless dedication to economic fairness, workers’ rights, and social equity has inspired a new generation of activists and legislators despite great resistance.
