Emily!!! I feel so grateful and excited that you will be devoting yourself full time to this effort. Democrats, myself included, are lucky to have your support.

Thank you for your work and mobilization! I sent one of your articles to my family as we are working to have real conversations about what's at stake. I appreciate the real and direct perspectives and information. Your work is making a difference. I see you and I hear you! <3

My copy arrived yesterday! I was going to get it from the local library (which has 4 copies on order!) because I need the pressure of a due date to read books 😅 but I finally decided to buy it instead and I've got a friend waiting for me to loan it to her which will keep the pressure on me to read it. Can't wait!

Thank you for expending your energy on this full-time. This is exhausting work. We are lucky to have an advocate like you. I hope you take some time for self care. I’ve told as many people as I can to buy the book. I ordered the book and once I get a copy, I’ll post about on my social media. I also plan to buy an extra copy or two to give away to people.

Hell yes!! 🙌🏾 LFG!!!

Also - does buying an audiobook copy count towards the subscription membership?

Yup! Any type of book counts for promo. Only hardcovers count for NYT bestsellers

Good to know! I was going to start reading the audiobook right away but I’ll order a hardcover and wait so it counts towards the NYT ❤️

Ordering copies now! I went to 2 stores in person yesterday but neither had the book in stock 😭 I’m hoping that’s because it was sold out, and not because they just didn’t stock it…

But I’m so glad you’re on the front lines and finally getting people at the top to listen to what has been brewing for years! Like you said, Dems have a messaging problem, and it’s time to fight fire with fire, be where the audience is, and make connections ❤️

I am really not sure what’s going on with the stock issue!! But I don’t think people expected there to be much interest in this book 😂

I think you’re right, because I checked a few online stores (Allstora, Barbara’s Bookstore, etc) and they say it’s backordered. But I found 1 copy at my indie bookstore and ordered 2 more from Amazon too! 🫶

I am SO over the moon to have found you (thanks to Hitha!). Your book arrived at my house on Tuesday and I am so grateful that you’re using your voice and platform to do this. I’m completely with you on the need to get this right before November! I’d love to have you on my podcast and will happily be sharing all you do!

Yessss! I pre-ordered the audio book version but loved it so much after I started listening that I bought 2 hardback copies as gifts ❤️ can't wait to see all the exciting things you have planned and how we can get involved!

Ugh. I ordered a few copies on backorder and they'll get here when they can. Hopefully they help your count.

TY! Any hard copy counts once the payment goes through, I am told. 🫠
