Friends,

Hi from London, where THE PERSUADERS book tour continues. I’ve had a few days of fascinating conversations here about the different and yet rhyming challenges confronting democracy here.

Today, I fly back to the States, and before I do, a quick post inviting any and all of you to some of the final stops on the book tour. So many of you have come out to events already, and it’s been one of the real joys.

Tonight: Philly.

Tomorrow: Washington, DC.

Saturday: Austin, Texas.

November 15: Toronto.

If you haven’t yet, it’s not too late to join the ranks of so many amazing readers who are telling me all the hope and possibility they are finding in THE PERSUADERS. You can order it here.

Hope to see more of you very soon. Thank you for being part of this community.

P.S. I’ve been talking a lot in recent days about appeals from the left that fall short against the rising tide of fascism. Here is the opposite: a brilliant, rousing ad that tells a thrilling, galvanizing, inviting story of America, from Anat Shenker-Osorio, whom I have a chapter on in THE PERSUADERS, and the team at Way to Win.

THE PERSUADERS by Anand Giridharadas @AnandWrites

“We can build a country where all of us are free to thrive.” This is it, folks. This is the closing argument that can win America back from wannabe tyrants and fascists. This is the opposite of those terrible chip-in $5 emails. This is how it’s done.
