Publisher's Synopsis
The growing progressive movement in the United States finds itself at a historic andpropitious crossroads. With large Republican majorities in both chambers of Congressand an ambitious new president who campaigned and won election on promises of boldchanges-both serving a citizenry that is deeply frustrated with the status quo and desperatefor new leadership at all levels of our society-the potential for true progressive governanceis greater than at any point in decades. Driven by a rising generation of young 18- to29-year-old "Millennial" generation voters whose vast numbers and unique worldviewhave already made a significant impact at the ballot box, our country is embracing manycore progressive values and shows a real commitment to a progressive vision of government, international affairs, and economic and political policies that could transform thecountry in a way that has not been seen since FDR and the New Deal.
