This discussion will be moderated by Ken Broad, a Member of the USC Center for the Political Future Board of Councilors and a Founding Member of Jackson Square Partners.

This conversation will take place on Wednesday, October 7th from 4-5:30 PM in SOS B46. It will explore Evan's career as a Democratic campaign strategist, during which she raised tens of millions of dollars for candidates across the party's establishment and progressive wings, and what led her to break with the party she once helped build. The first 15 attendees will receive a signed copy of the book. Free pizza will be provided.

About Nothing Left: Confessions of a Democratic Operative: Drawing on her years inside Democratic campaign politics, Evan Barker argues that hyper-progressive donors, radicalized staff, and an activist base captured the party from within, pulling it away from the working-class voters it once represented.

Panelists Include:

Evan Barker – Writer, Podcaster, and Former Democratic Campaign Strategist; Author, Nothing Left: Confessions of a Democratic OperativeKen Broad – Member, USC Center for the Political Future Board of Councilors; Founding Member, Jackson Square Partners

This event is held in partnership with the USC Heterodox Academy and the USC Open Dialogue Project.
