Join RJ Julia Booksellers and Random House Group
For an Evening with Bernie Sanders

Join Senator Bernie Sanders on Monday, March 13 at 8 p.m. ET on Zoom to launch the senator’s new book, It’s OK to Be Angry About Capitalism. The book is a progressive takedown of the uber-capitalist status quo that has enriched millionaires and billionaires at the expense of the working class, and a blueprint for what transformational change would actually look like.

Senator Sanders will discuss the destructive nature of a system fueled by greed, and how we can work to create a society that provides a decent standard of living for all.

Sanders argues that unfettered capitalism is to blame for an unprecedented level of income and wealth inequality, is undermining our democracy, and is destroying our planet. How can we accept an economic order that allows three billionaires to control more wealth than the bottom half of our society? How can we accept a political system that allows the super rich to buy elections and politicians? How can we accept an energy system that rewards the fossil fuel corporations causing the climate crisis? Sanders believes that, in the face of these overwhelming challenges, the American people must ask tough questions about the systems that have failed us and demand fundamental economic and political change. This is where the path forward begins.

It’s OK to Be Angry About Capitalism presents a vision that extends beyond the promises of past campaigns to reveal what would be possible if the political revolution took place, if we would finally recognize that economic rights are human rights, and if we would work to create a society that provides a decent standard of living for all. This isn’t some utopian fantasy; this is democracy as we should know it.

Bernie Sanders is serving his third term in the U.S. Senate and is the longest serving Independent member of Congress in American history. As the Chair of the Budget Committee he successfully led the passage of the American Rescue Plan. He now serves as Chair of the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, where he leads the fight for Medicare for All and tuition-free public colleges and universities and sits on the Environment and Public Works Committee, where he has focused on global warming and rebuilding our nation’s crumbling infrastructure.

Each ticket includes admission to the virtual event and a hardcover copy of It’s Okay to Be Angry About Capitalism. A limited number of signed bookplates are available while supplies last. Shipping will only be available in the US.

We can’t wait for you to join us for this important conversation!
