Our Revolution: A Future to Believe in by Bernie Sanders

5.0

This book is a must-read. Bernie taught me so much about the reality of the state of the world. It's eye-opening and very sad, but it is full of truth. Learning about how he built his campaign from the ground up with the help of ordinary people's time and monetary contributions inspired me. He gathered people who are passionate about saving the world that we live in and he provided real thought out solutions to many of the problems that we face as a nation. Bernie taught me about the very corrupt world of politics and how that corruption controls so many aspects of our society, economy, and environment. He is a wonderfully intelligent man who cares about the good of all people. I hope that others will read this book because it forces you to face many of the dauntingly large-scale problems in our country. We live in a world where the top of the top, such a small number of people, have so much power. But Bernie showed us all through his campaign that from the very bottom, ordinary people can join together, and with numbers, we can make a movement. Change is possible, but only if we come together to work towards the change that we believe in. It is an important reminder that in order to make change you can't just sit and wait--YOU have to actually DO something. Each and everyone of us can be an agent of change. Be part of something bigger. Contribute to our communities. Take time to do something nice for someone in need. Stand up for equal rights and treatment of all people. Volunteer for an environmental protection group. Bring food to a homeless shelter. If nothing else, HAVE EMPATHY FOR OTHERS. Thank you Bernie for opening my eyes and my heart.
