John,
In 2013 Alicia Garza wrote a message on Facebook -- "Black People. I love you. I love us. Our lives matter". Almost immediately, a movement was born out of her post with a hashtag -- #BlackLivesMatter.
This past year we have seen the movement for Black lives sweep across the nation and the world. People are finally waking up to the systemic oppression against people of color in America thanks to the Black Lives Matter movement.
We are excited today to give you an exclusive opportunity to read Alicia Garza’s book - "The Purpose of Power: How we come together when we fall apart."
This book is an essential guide to building transformative movements to address the challenges of our time, from one of the country’s leading organizers and a co-creator of Black Lives Matter.
Get your free copy of “The Purpose of Power” with a donation of $35 or more to Democracy for America.
The Purpose of Power has been named one of the best books of the year by Time, Marie Claire, and Kirkus Reviews. Get your hands on this great book while supporting the progressive movement at the same time.
Wondering what progressive leaders are saying about the book?
"The Purpose of Power is a must-read. Anyone interested in turning the page on our contemptible past toward a brighter future should put this book on their reading list." - Congresswoman Barbara Lee
"Magnificent and engaging... this is a text everyone needs to be ready, to discuss, to debate, to challenge, and to absorb. Alicia Garza is our Ella Baker." - Melissa Harris-Perry
This book will reinforce your belief in our ability to come together again, even after we have fallen very, very, far apart.
