Hi Friends,

Roots Action National Director Norman Solomon will be joining Campaign Coordinator David Swanson and YOU to ask some critical and timely questions of Lily Geismer, author of Left Behind. Can you join us online? 

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.

When you're being led toward a cliff, one obvious step you can take is to change leaders!

It’s time for congressional Democrats to replace Schumer and Jeffries with leaders who are willing and able to challenge the runaway militarism that has dragged our country into launching yet another insanely destructive war. 

Tell them now.

This work is only possible with your financial support. Please chip in $12 now.

Thanks for all you do!

In Solidarity,
The RootsAction Team
