Elizabeth Warren's important new book

A big, important new book is about to come out, and you're not going to want to miss it: Elizabeth Warren's "Persist" is a deeply personal book about how profound change is well within our reach if we fight for it. And it's being released early next month.

Dear MoveOn member,

A big, important new book is about to come out, and you're not going to want to miss it: Elizabeth Warren's "Persist" is a deeply personal book about how profound change is well within our reach if we fight for it. And it's being released early next month.

We've gotten a sneak peek, and it's terrific.

If you're as excited about this book as we are and are ready to order it, we have a way to do so that's better than through your local big-box store or online retailer.

If you start a monthly donation to MoveOn—at any amount—today, we'll send you a special edition copy of Senator Warren's book for free. Instead of giving money to a big, corporate bookseller, you'll support MoveOn—and help us work with Sen. Warren to achieve political transformation.

And you'll also be entered to win a signed copy of the book! We have 500 signed copies signed by Sen. Warren exclusively for MoveOn members like you.

Click here to get your special edition copy of Elizabeth Warren's new book by starting a monthly donation of $5—or an amount of your choosing.

In "Persist," Sen. Warren shares vivid personal stories, like her path to her first job as a teacher, which had long been her dream:

"The road had been bumpy. My mother didn't want me to go to work ('just marry a man who is a good provider'). We didn't have money for college ('college is for other people'). I found a way to go to college anyhow, but I got married at nineteen and dropped out ('I always knew you would'). I found a commuter college that I could afford, but my husband got transferred before I could graduate ('his job is important')."

But Sen. Warren's dream "crashed and burned" in her first year as a teacher, despite loving the profession and being successful at it, when she was fired for being pregnant:

"And in the space of a couple of minutes it was over. My job was gone. The principal told me I could finish up the last few weeks of the school year as long I didn't 'look too pregnant,' and then I was to clear out. He would hire someone else for next year. He stood up and wished me luck."

You'll want to hear more of Sen. Warren's personal story as well as her plan for how, together, we can make transformational change to save the middle class, end systemic racism, fight climate change, and so much more.

No corporate bookstore will take the money you spend to buy Sen. Warren's book and put it directly to work to help enact her progressive agenda. But MoveOn will.

Get yours before special edition copies run out!

Start a monthly donation to MoveOn, and we'll send you the book and enter you to win a signed copy.

Want to support our work without getting a book? With our nation ravaged by the pandemic and the cruelty of the Trump Administration, we need to make huge and historic investments to revive our economy and ensure our communities can thrive. Democrats are in control of Congress and the White House, so we have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to pass bold legislation to raise the minimum wage, tackle the climate crisis, close corporate tax loopholes, and dismantle systemic racism. But Mitch McConnell and centrist Democrats are trying to stand in the way, and we can't let them stop us from passing these critical laws.

Will you chip in to power our campaigns to press Congress and the White House to act boldly to overcome the pandemic and enable our communities to thrive?

Yes, I'll chip in $5 a month.
