We are pleased to welcome Jo Piazza, whose new book was declared by Salon as "the essential political novel for the 2018 midterms."
It's about a Silicon Valley executive who returns to her Pennsylvania hometown for a Senate run. To celebrate the publication of this timely novel, we are putting together a small panel to join Jo in discussion. Jo says, "The discussion is less about the book and more a rousing discussion about the challenges facing women running for office."
Other panelists include Lindsay Lassman, political fundraiser; Kimberly Ellis, former Executive Director of Emerge CA; and Judson True, Chief of Staff and Senior Advisor to Assembly person David Chiu.

KIM BROOKS
Small Animals: Parenthood in the Age of Fear
Tuesday, August 28 at 7 PM
"Part memoir, part history, part documentary, part impassioned manifesto...it might be the most important book about being a parent that you will ever read." -- Emily Rapp Black, New York Times bestselling author of The Still Point of the Turning World
We are pleased to welcome Kim Brooks, who will discuss her new memoir Small Animals: Parenthood in the Age of Fear
One day, Brooks made a split-second decision to leave her four-year old son in the car while she ran into a store. What happened would consume the next several years of her life and compel her to investigate the broader role America's culture of fear plays in parenthood. Brooks offers a provocative, compelling portrait of parenthood in America and calls us to examine what we most value in our relationships with our children and one another.
