U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren speaking at the 2019 National Forum on Wages and Working People, hosted by the Center for the American Progress Action Fund and the SEIU at the Enclave in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Secretly there is a parallel universe where Elizabeth Warren is president; RSVP for the link. No, seriously, there is just this universe, where Warren is a senator, a financial whiz, the woman with the plan for that, and the author of Persist, an adamant new memoir, which she will discuss live via Crowdcast as part of the Wisconsin Book Festival. RSVP for the link. It's not a wormhole to another dimension, but it may be the next best thing.

media release:

In Persist, Warren writes about six perspectives that have influenced her life and advocacy. She’s a mother who learned from wrenching personal experience why child care is so essential. She’s a teacher who has known since grade school the value of a good and affordable education. She’s a planner who understands that every complex problem requires a comprehensive response. She’s a fighter who discovered the hard way that nobody gives up power willingly. She’s a learner who thinks, listens, and works to fight racism in America. And she’s a woman who has proven over and over that women are just as capable as men. Candid and compelling, 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.
