The Revolution Where You Live

FEATURING SARAH VAN GELDER – Donald Trump’s presence in the White House has left many Americans with a sense of hopelessness. But the President does not dictate every aspect of our communities. Local organizing has long been taking place around the country to build resiliency and just systems no matter who leads the federal government. Surveying that local grassroots organizing during a 12,000 mile journey around the US is Yes! Magazine’s Sarah Van Gelder.

In a new book called The Revolution Where You Live, Van Gelder tells the stories of ordinary Americans doing extraordinary things – models that are sure to inspire hope in these dark times.
