Hi Friends,

Let's look at the facts, and what we can do about them. Here’s information about an online forum and also action you can take.

In her book Left Behind, historian Lily Geismer recounts how the Clinton-era Democratic Party sought to curb poverty through economic growth and individual responsibility rather than asking the rich to make any sacrifices. This piercingly intelligent book shows how bygone policy decisions have left us with skyrocketing income inequality and poverty in America and prescriptions for endless failure within the Democratic Party that persist to this day.

Join us for the May 2026 online book club on May 6 at 5 p.m. PT / 8 p.m. ET with Lily Geismer.
