Packed crowd at Politics and Prose
It was standing room only for an unforgettable evening of conversation between legendary organizer Heather Booth and Michael Ansara, author of the new memoir The Hard Work of Hope. The crowd packed the Politics and Prose bookstore in Washington DC to hear these two movement veterans reflect on decades of activism, the urgency of resistance today, and what it takes to keep going. The energy in the room was electric—and by the end of the night, the bookstore had completely sold out of copies of The Hard Work of Hope. Hope, it turns out, is in high demand.
