Dear friends,
Please JOIN US for our Homecoming: This Monday, May 16, 7:00pm; PORTER SQUARE BOOKS
We have learned a lot from on the road.  I will be reading a piece about my parents experience in Germany in the 1930s and their reflections on the eerie similarities to this moment in politics.
Apologies if you receive this twice – it has been updated.
Love,
Greg

"When We Fight, We Win! wins us over to the struggle for justice and freedom by sharing the passions, insights, and hard decisions made by ordinary people, to resist tyranny and oppression. It is ultimately a joyful book. We witness how we continue (despite the misery of countless disasters) as sister Maya Angelou reminded us, to rise."
    —Alice Walker, Author
