This holiday season, there's a lot to be thankful for as we work to protect our democracy and build a more progressive America.
We wanted to give PCCC members the opportunity to share some progressive holiday gifts! Especially books, podcasts, and news subscriptions. (Including a children's book written by PCCC co-founder Stephanie Taylor!)
Click on these links to order any of these books:
I Can Change Everything by PCCC co-founder Stephanie Taylor, illustrations by Laura Brenlla: Our very own Stephanie Taylor teaches kids the power of their imaginations -- from changing their socks and shoes to changing the world. This is a great gift for kids in your life!
The Sum Of Us by Heather McGhee: Heather McGhee, one of the sharpest progressive voices in politics, makes clear that bold economic populism and racial equity go hand in hand and lift all boats in this trailblazing book.
Unthinkable by Jamie Raskin: Rep. Jamie Raskin recounts the forty-five days that changed his life as he confronted the painful loss of his son to suicide, experienced the violent insurrection at the Capitol, and led the impeachment of President Trump.
Franchise: The Golden Arches in Black America by Marcia Chatelain: Dr. Marcia Chatelain won a Pulitzer Prize for this nuanced analysis of how fast food franchises became a source of Black wealth and empowerment -- and at what cost.
Electable by Ali Vitali: After closely covering Elizabeth Warren's 2020 presidential campaign, NBC journalist Ali Vitali delves into the well-worn stereotypes to understand why America has never elected a woman president.
The Color of Money by Mehrsa Baradaran: Banking law expert Mehrsa Baradaran takes a hammer to the "self-help" myth that perpetuates the racial wealth gap.
The Lie That Binds by Ilyse Hogue: Former NARAL president Ilyse Hogue forcefully argues that the anti-abortion movement’s recent victories foreshadow a larger rollback of democratic rights and social progress.
We've Got People by Ryan Grim: Intercept editor Ryan Grim tells never-before-told stories as documents the influence of progressive populists from the late 1980s to the present, including shout outs to PCCC's behind-the-scenes influence!
Lady Justice by Dahlia Lithwick: Lawyer and legal commentator Dahlia Lithwick chronicles the unsung bravery of women who used the rule of law to exact accountability during the Trump administration.
They Knew by Sarah Kendzior: Called "the Joan Didion of Missouri," Sarah Kendzior turns a critical eye toward the real-world conspiracies and conspiracy theories that threaten democracy.
