We Own the Future

Platform:Peter Dreier is frequently interviewed by major newspapers and magazines about American politics and culture, and has appeared on The Rachel Maddow Show, Bill Moyers and Company, The Tavis Smiley Show, and The O’Reilly Factor.

Major Institutional Partnerships: TNP will partner with Dissent Magazine, The American Prospect, and Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) to aggressively promote the book to their respective memberships.  (DSA has grown from 6,200 members in early 2016 to over 35,000 members and 121 local chapters, with membership and local affiliates increasing steadily in red and blue states alike).  

Credentials:Editors and contributors together comprise America’s leading Socialists, all of whom have strong writing and publishing track records and significant public profiles.  This is the go-to group, never before assembles, to make the case for Socialism, American Style.

Opportunities:The recent rise of prominence of openly-Socialist candidates, on the heels of Bernie Sanders’s presidential run, has opened the door to serious public discussion of a Socialist alternative in America.  This is the first serious, credentialed book addressing the subject.

Blurbs/endorsements: We will secure endorsements from Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Noam Chomsky, and other prominent figures on the left.
