It's here! Elizabeth Warren's new book Persist is available now. It's a must read, with behind-the-scenes 2020 presidential primary anecdotes and reflections.
In her book, Warren credits PCCC co-founders Stephanie Taylor and Adam Green with informing her thinking about small-dollar donations, an ethos which became central to her 2020 presidential campaign strategy:
"Stephanie told me about the PCCC donors -- people who gave $3 to advance an issue or support a candidate. We talked about how many of these folks lived on modest budgets and needed that $3. But they made a political contribution because they cared about the future of this nation and they wanted their voices to be heard....
"From that first conversation with Stephanie and Adam, I thought about the responsibility of taking $3 contributions from people who wanted to make change. I assumed these people needed that money, and if I was going to ask them to give it to me, I needed to fight the most effective and tireless fight I possibly could."
(We always tell candidates how thankful we are for grassroots donors!)
Here is some reporting on other parts of Warren's book:
Washington Post: Warren also writes of her determination to go after former New York mayor Mike Bloomberg during the Democratic debates, a withering salvo that essentially ended Bloomberg’s candidacy.
NPR: Sen. Elizabeth Warren's new book "Persist" strengthens her call for transformational change, which gained popularity during her presidential campaign.
New York Times: Frank discussion of her gender -- and the obstacles it poses -- runs throughout the 304-page book. Though she never attributes sexism directly for her loss, she provides plenty of evidence that it remained a serious factor in the race.
Persist is both a deeply personal book and a powerful call to action. Elizabeth Warren -- one of our nation's most visionary leaders -- will inspire everyone to believe that if we're willing to fight for it, profound change is well within our reach.
Thanks for being a bold progressive.
