Saikat Chakrabarti Biography

Saikat Chakrabarti is one of the most popular and richest American activist who was born on January 12, 1986 in Fort Worth, Texas, United States. Chakrabarti was born in the year 1986 and was raised in the Bengali household in Fort Worth, Texas. He went to Harvard University, graduating in 2007 with the Bachelor of Arts degree in computer science.

Chakrabarti was the campaign manager of Ocasio-Cortez’s surprise primary win over incumbent 10-term Joe Crowley, and afterwards was elected the campaign’s chair. In the event that her victory in the general elections of this highly Democratic district was viewed as an unassailable fact, Chakrabarti made use of her fame to support various progressives across the nation. When she was able to win the general election in November she named him her chief of staff.

On August 2, 2019, Representative Ocasio-Cortez announced that Saikat Chakrabarti “has decided to leave the office to work with New Consensus to further develop plans for a Green New Deal.” That same day in an interview with The Intercept Chakrabarti said he would be starting work with New Consensus, an organization dedicated to the Green New Deal, the Congresswoman’s “ambitious climate, economic, and racial justice agenda.” A subsequent article in The New York Times suggested a connection between this departure and Ocasio-Cortez’s adoption of a more moderate strategy for working with conservative colleagues. This sentiment was compounded in March 2020 when Chakrabarti’s fellow staffer, Corbin Trent, was replaced by Lauren Hitt, noted for her work with Beto O’Rourke, John Hickenlooper and Cynthia Nixon.

“it wasn’t originally a climate thing at all… we really think of it as a how- do-you-change-the-entire-economy thing.”

In February of this year, Chakrabarti appeared as a guest on Bloomberg News to clarify Ocasio-Cortez’s involvement in the decision of Amazon to withdraw its planned headquarters from Long Island City, Queens She said she was unhappy with the method by the company had been awarded its initial deal however she did not have any specific dislike for Amazon. The AOC’s aim was to bring the community be more engaged in discussions, but when community members were involved in discussions, Amazon took the choice to pull out. Chakrabarti explained on the fact that Amazon would be able returning to the negotiation table, provided that Amazon engages with the local communities who will get the most benefit from this proposed project.

As of 2015, Chakrabarti was a part of the initial stages U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders’ presidential bid. In response to that decision, Chakrabarti told Rolling Stone, “I wasn’t entirely sure he had all the right solutions but I knew he was talking about the right problems.”

In the beginning of 2017, following Trump’s election Chakrabarti, Zack Exley, an ex-coworker of Bernie Sanders presidential campaign executive, Cenk Uygur of The Young Turks and Kyle Kulinski of Secular Talk were co-founding The Justice Democrats. When Chakrabarti, Rojas, and Trent were not involved in Brand New Congress, they became the leaders for their own group, the Justice Democrats. Chakrabarti as Executive Director of Justice Democrats created software that organized in an “distributed fashion”. Justice Democrats targeted an entrenched “corporate Democrat” in Joe Crowley. They enlisted Ocasio-Cortez to run a campaign against Joe Crowley and “helped get her campaign off the ground, build an email list and raise $30,000.” Strategies of the activist group Justice Democrats contributed greatly to the primary victory of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez according to The Intercept.

During the Sanders campaign Chakrabarti worked closely with Alexandra Rojas and Corbin Trent to stage campaign events around the country. Charkrabarti told Rolling Stone that he often heard voters express strong concerns about Congress: “people would say, ‘How’s he going to get anything done? We just saw what Congress did to Obama for the last eight years, they’re gonna do the same thing to Bernie.'” As a result, in the spring of 2016, Chakrabarti (together with Rojas and Trent) co-founded the Brand New Congress political action committee, to recruit 400 new candidates for Congress. Chakrabarti told Rachel Maddow in 2016, the goal was to have unified fundraising of small donors modeled on the Sanders campaign in hopes of politicians who work for their voters rather than spend their time seeking donations. The group received many applications and recruited 12 candidates, of whom only Alexandria Ocasio- Cortez won a seat in Congress.
