About this audiobook
A book for this moment: Both an assessment of our current political leadership and a vision of those who can bring substantive change.
Who are the new progressive leaders emerging to lead the post-Trump return to democracy in America? National political correspondent and award-winning author D.D. Guttenplan's The Next Republic is an extraordinarily intense and wide-ranging account of the recent fall and incipient rise of democracy in America.
The Next Republic profiles nine successful activists who are changing the course of American history right now:

- racial justice campaigner (and mayor of Jackson, Mississippi) Chokwe Antar Lumumba
- environmental activist (and newly elected chair of the Nebraska Democratic Party) Jane Kleeb
- Chicago’s first openly gay Latino public official Carlos Ramirez-Rosa
- #ALLOFUS co-founder Waleed Shahid
- young architects of Bernie Sanders amazing rise, digerati Corbin Trent and Zack Exley, founders of Brand New Congress
- and author and anti-corruption crusader Zephyr Teachout.
