Her own life is proof since she grew up a poor, black, gay, Haitian-American immigrant who rose up to the forefront of American politics with jobs at the White House and now as a political analyst for MSNBC.

· Step-by-step, practical advice for how anyone can get involved before the 2020 election.

· Her experience as an unconventional change-maker working against the barriers of her gender, race, and identity, and confronting the myth that only white, privileged men of status can access power in our democracy.

· Flawed Democratic candidates (Karine worked with both Anthony Weiner & John Edwards), and why it’s important to focus on the party’s big-picture agenda vs. lamenting that there’s no “perfect” candidate.

· Why the term “progressive” became so divisive and why ALL Americans should reclaim it.

· How politics is no longer a closed system, anyone can get involved, and everyone should at this critical moment.
