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.

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!
