A conversation between Senator Cory Booker and New York Times bestselling author Steve Phillips, moderated by Rahna Epting, Executive Director of MoveOn.

This is a national voter mobilization event in conjunction with the publication of How We Win the Civil War. The book highlights the true nature of the fight we are facing, shows how the Confederates never stopped fighting after the Civil War, and illuminates how voter suppression and restricting democracy are current cornerstones of a Confederate Battle Plan that is still being deployed to this day.

How We Win highlights the work of the key groups and leaders who have led this transformation—people such as Stacey Abrams in Georgia and Tram Nguyen in Virginia and features five case studies of states and regions that have been transformed from former Confederate bastions into places actually winning the fight to create a multi-racial democracy.

The Town Hall will be a national event put on in partnership with several progressive national organizations including MoveOn, Community Change, Netroots Nation, Working Families Party, Voto Latino, and Justice Democrats.

The focus of the event will be a conversation between Booker and Phillips about how to build majority support for a justice agenda when we face widespread voter suppression and demagogic attempts to whip up white racial resentment and fear.

The theme will be to issue a call to action to defend the concept of the country as a multi-racial democracy and to do so by vigorously expanding voter participation. The event will also showcase work of key organizations and leaders doing critical civic engagement work in battleground states.
