Check Out the Cover for Bernie Sanders Book for Teens on How to Fight for Progressive Causes

Excerpt:

Titled The Bernie Sanders Guide To Political Revolution, Sanders' book is a one-stop shop for teenagers hoping to learn more about progressive causes and how to mobilize around key issues they care about. The book features helpful infographics and illustrations in the hopes of breaking down complex issues like income inequality, climate change, healthcare, law enforcement reform, prison system reform and student loan debt so that students know what they're up against and how best to tackle these problems.

What does Sanders hope young people get from the book? He wants to help them understand how current government structure works, show them how to create change that reflects their values, inspire them to organize around causes they care about and introduce them to other resources to propel their work forward.

"Young people are the future of our country," Sanders tells Teen Vogue. "As citizens of the United States, they have a responsibility to participate in our democracy and to help create a government which works for all, rather than just the few. This book will expose them to an unusual political campaign, the excitement of politics and what being a progressive is all about."

Want to get your hands on a copy? Mark your calendars: The book comes out on August 29 and will cost $16.99.
