Jackson Hinkle is one of the youngest Progressives on the political media landscape. A former candidate for San Clemente City Council – he was 19 at the time – Jackson has spent the majority of his young life working as a community organizer in California.
Progressive Background …
The bulk of his community outreach & organizing has focused on Progressive causes like Medicare For All, climate and sustainability, nuclear waste storage and American anti-imperialism.
In 2018, Jackson was the co-founder of Orange County Students For City Council, which helped mobilize young, progressive, and corporate-free students to run for city council seats across Orange County, California.
Progressive Media Launch …
In 2020, Jackson launched his own progressive Youtube media channel: The Dive w/ Jackson Hinkle.
The show’s tagline is ‘propaganda made by and for the proletariat‘.
Jackson’s political commentary is populist in nature and his understanding of political issues belies his young age.
As comfortable in front of the camera as he is leading a Medicare For All or 15$ min Wage march on Congress, young Jackson is laying down the foundation for a terrific presence on the progressive media landscape.
The Future ..
Inspired by Progressives like Jimmy Dore, Jackson’s philosophical arrows take on both sides of the American duopoly.
The show’s episodes tend to focus on the happenings of the Progressives within Congress and the constant fumblings of media progressives in the Youtube & Twitter ecosystem.
He has a keen eye for political BS spun as strategy and is a young Progressive that might not only have a lasting career in media but he may also have a lasting voice in the political spectrum as well.
Keep an eye on this young progressive .. he’s got purpose.
