Aprašymas

A groundbreaking guide to getting more women into politics, from the celebrated political organizer

A'shanti Gholar has enjoyed a front-row seat to the emergence of women as a major political force in America. As president of Emerge America, the national organization born out of Kamala Harris's first race for San Francisco District Attorney in 1992 and dedicated to recruiting and training Democrat women of all ages and races to run for elected public office, Gholar is also host of the award-winning podcast The Brown Girls Guide to Politics. She has interviewed and helped elect some of the most influential women in politics today.

Part handbook for aspiring political changemakers, part blueprint for a new kind of politics in America, How to Change Everything combines Gholar's unique and hard-won wisdom with insights gleaned from original interviews with some of the most influential women working in American politics, including Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Stacey Abrams, New York Attorney General Letitia James, Congresswoman Nikema Williams, Congresswoman Lateefah Simon, Planned Parenthood President Alex McGill Johnson, Senator Laphonza Butler, and many more political organizers, activists, and influencers from across the United States. Each chapter focuses on a specific challenge on the path to political power, from how to get involved, the importance of mentorship, and the challenges of being the only woman in the room, to fighting ageism, common political pitfalls, becoming part of the resistance, and more.

Packed with real-world examples and concrete strategies to empower women throughout their political journey, How to Change Everything is the essential book to navigate us out of the present quagmire and into a different future.
