You're invited to an insightful discussion featuring author and activist Jay Ponti, eco-centric poet Nancy Lynée Woo, and progressive political comedian Ron Placone. Join us as they explore Jay Ponti's new book, "Be The Revolution: How Occupy Wall Street and the Bernie Sanders Movement Reshaped American Politics," a gonzo adventure into the last decade of grassroots resistance—shutting down banks with Jane Fonda, fighting fascists, pipelines, and the democratic establishment.
During reading, discussion and Q&A, they will delve into the power of the written and spoken word to mobilize the masses to fight the corporate state.
