In addition to working for an end to US occupations, Winograd led election protection efforts aimed at ensuring a verifiable voter paper trail and lobbied the FCC to oppose media consolidation. Winograd teaches at Crenshaw High School in South Los Angeles, where “she inspires her students with debate teams, journalistic endeavors, and poetry slams”.

Regarding Winograd’s latest campaign, keywiki says
Her Jobs, With Peace platform called for a substantial reduction in the military budget to invest in new green jobs.

Hers was the last Democratic campaign I ever supported. I’m glad to see her leave the dark side.
