Maywood Mayor Ana Rosa Rizo and City Councilor Felipe Aguirre are half of the progressive majority on this working class LA suburb's City Council. Rizo and Aguirre break down the recent headline-making closure of Maywood's police department, and they share the untold story about how a highly organized community elected a progressive majority and won major victories on local housing, immigration, and other policies. In the face of a recall effort by local conservatives and nation-wide Right wing attacks from the likes of Rush Limbaugh, how can the little town of Maywood be a national model of community organizing and progressive electoral strategies making important strides?
