DESCRIPTION:Gayle McLaughlin just ran as a corporate-free candidate for Lt. Governor, 
 and was endorsed by Bernie Sanders. She has now released her new memoir, 
 Winning Richmond: How a Progressive Alliance Won City Hall.  \n\nIn this 
 inspirational recounting of Gayle's 14 years as a co-founder of the 
 Richmond Progressive Alliance, a city council member and two term mayor, we 
 can all learn many valuable lessons about activism, electoral electoral 
 politics, and against all odds, WINNING.\n\nA California Bay area city long 
 ruled by its huge Chevron oil refinery become an award winning “Green & 
 Clean” community. How did they do it? They won City Hall thanks to the 
 power of the people, who organized a progressive alliance on the grassroots 
 level to seize political power and to fight entrenched corporate interests, 
 inspired by the wisdom of the original Americans who first settled in the 
 Bay area.\n\n“We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow 
 it from our children.” — Native American proverb\n\nGayle McLaughlin 
 was at the center of that long-term struggle, organizing meetings, going 
 door-to-door campaigning for City Council and eventually, serving as Mayor 
 of Richmond, California. This is her story. This is Richmond’s story.  
 \n\n"McLaughlin’s story is a case study in working class leadership 
 development, female empowerment, and grass-roots base building," says 
 respected labor organizer and author, Steve Early.\n\nFree admission.\n
