DESCRIPTION:Join a conversation on the threat of white nationalism to Democracy 
 happening between \nSen. Cory Booker and New York Times bestselling author

 MoveOn.\n\nOrgs: Democracy in Color with support from MoveOn, Community 
 Change, Netroots Nation, Working Families Party, Voto Latino, and Justice 
 Democrats\n\nDate & time: Wed, October 19, 2022 @ 3:00 - 4:00 PM PT (6:00

 https://www.eventbrite.com/e/how-we-win-the-civil-war-the-struggle-between-democracy-and-whiteness-tickets-425880147987\n\n\nThis 
 is a national voter mobilization event in conjunction with the publication 
 of "How We Win the Civil War: The Struggle Between Democracy and 
 Whiteness." 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.\n\nSteve Phillips' book "How We Win the Civil War" 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.\n\nThe Town Hall will 
 be a national event put on by Democracy in Color in partnership with 
 several progressive national organizations including MoveOn, Community 
 Change, Netroots Nation, Working Families Party, Voto Latino, and Justice 
 Democrats.\n\nThe 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.\n\nThe 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.\n\nAbout How We Win the Civil 
 War\n\nSteve Phillips’s first book, Brown Is the New White, helped shift 
 the national conversation around race and electoral politics, earning a 
 spot on the New York Times bestseller list and launching Phillips into the 
 upper ranks of trusted observers of the nation’s changing demographics 
 and their implications for our political future.\n\nNow, in How We Win the 
 Civil War, Phillips warns that the Confederates never stopped fighting the 
 Civil War, that conservatives are taking full advantage of this reality, 
 and that those in denial imperil our democracy. He charts the way forward 
 in the post-Trump era, arguing that progressives must recognize the true 
 nature of the fight we’re in—an existential battle between those who 
 wish to make America a multiracial democracy and those clinging to the 
 concept that this is fundamentally a white nation.\n\nAbout Steve 
 Phillips\n\nSteve Phillips is a national political leader, bestselling 
 author, and columnist. He is the author of The New York Times bestseller 
 Brown Is the New White: How the Demographic Revolution Has Created a New 
 American Majority and the forthcoming book How We Win the Civil War: 
 Securing a Multiracial Democracy and Ending White Supremacy for Good, due 
 out in October 2022.\n\nHe is a columnist for The Guardian and The Nation, 
 and an opinion contributor to The New York Times. He is also the host of 
 “Democracy in Color with Steve Phillips,” a color-conscious podcast on 
 politics. He is the founder of Democracy in Color, a political media 
 organization dedicated to race, politics and the multicultural progressive 
 New American Majority.\n\nPhillips is a graduate of Stanford University and 
 Hastings College of the Law and practiced civil rights and employment law 
 for many years. Phillips has appeared on multiple national radio and 
 television networks including NBC, CNN, MSNBC and C-SPAN.\n
