Yes, with 22 days remaining in this election cycle, we're mobilizing voters, engaging volunteers, and supporting Democrats who will champion democracy, abortion rights, economic fairness, climate investments, and so much more.

But I've also been taking time to read books that inspire me to keep moving forward, not just in one election cycle but over the long haul. Because let's face it: The work of creating a democracy that truly functions for all of us is never over, and the threats to this fragile system are increasingly under attack these days.

There is one book in particular that has given me hope and inspiration, and I want to share it with you: "How We Win the Civil War," by Steve Phillips, a brilliant thinker and organizer, award-winning writer, and good friend and collaborator. It's inspiring to read about the progress we have made as a country against our long history of white supremacy, and how much of that is thanks to the work of regular people, like you and me, resisting the worst impulses and most oppressive structures in our nation and advancing an alternative vision for the world grounded in love and mutuality.

And it's a reminder—even while we see the forces of white supremacy and intolerance rapidly being normalized in the mainstream of the Republican Party itself today—that we are ever powerful when we come together and we keep marching forward.

That's why I am excited to invite you to join me for a conversation on Wednesday with Steve and Senator Cory Booker, a longtime MoveOn ally. I'll be moderating the discussion on "How We Win" and hope you'll join us.

Part get-out-the-vote rally and part book talk, this conversation will focus on building and mobilizing majority support for a justice agenda—in the face of white supremacist attacks on our democracy and our values. As Steve's book highlights, the Confederates never stopped fighting after the Civil War—which is at play in the restrictions on our democracy and white racial resentment we confront today.

And as I'll discuss with Steve and Sen. Booker, there are real political prescriptions to these ailments—baked into our plan to win in 2022 and critical for the fights that will continue beyond this November.

I know you're already joining me in showing up for this election—and I hope you'll join me for this conversation, as I moderate this national town hall with Steve Phillips and Sen. Booker.

P.P.S. A good conversation goes hand in hand with critical voter outreach. If you haven't yet done so, be sure to sign up for phonebanks to call key voters and help them make their plans to vote.

Want to support MoveOn's work? Donald Trump's preparations for being able to steal the presidency in 2024 are well underway and include working to replace top election officials in battleground states with his own loyalists. Which is why MoveOn is doing something we've never done in our 24-year history: We're launching a powerful, multimillion-dollar effort to defeat Trump-backed secretaries of state across the country and elect individuals who will count every vote and ensure fair elections.
