Description of  We've Got People: From Jesse Jackson to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the End of Big Money and the Rise of a Movement

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez may seem like she came from nowhere, but the movement that propelled her to office and to global political stardom has been building for 30 years. Weve Got People is the story of that movement, which first exploded into public view with the largely forgotten presidential run of the Rev. Jesse Jackson, a campaign that came dangerously close to winning. With the party and the nation at a crossroads, this timely and original book offers new insight into how weve gotten where we are and where we're headed.
