Thank your for these timely reviews. I'm hearing too many folks on the Left lately arguing that focusing on elections is pointless; that we should put our energies into building mass movements instead. But why would we leave electoral power on the table? Yes, the Democrats were not able to stop the rightwing take-over of our judiciary. This means we need to be even smarter about our electoral strategies, which must be linked to building our bases and building other forms of power. The electoral strategies featured in "Power Concedes Nothing" should be absorbed by all who want to want to build progressive/left power today.

I enjoyed and appreciated this helpful set of reminders of what works, though I also wish that you would weave in your own experiences. With all the great organizing you’ve done here in New Rochelle and beyond, how have you seen the lessons you shared in those contexts? Keep up the great writing!
