Overview

Commentator Gene Nichol offers inspiration and ideas for blazing a progressive path forward in North Carolina, a decidedly purple state. In the 2024 election cycle, there was good news and bad news for North Carolina progressive politics. The people elected a Democratic Governor, Lt. Governor, Attorney General, and managed to obtain a tiny toehold with the General Assembly. However, Trump prevailed in the state and nationally-leaving a large number of progressives with a lot of political energy and no place to go. So, what now? What next? Gene Nichol writes to those who are well aware of the issues that North Carolina and the country at large now face. This book tackles the all-important question of how progressives can continue to move the state forward, tackling the opposition and their own flagging spirits.

Praise for Gene Nichol: “The changes in North Carolina are shocking and depressing. Gene Nichol was either in the ring or agitating from a front-row seat. He knows this sad story because he was there. The war is still raging. And he’s still fighting.”―John Grisham, 2019 “Gene Nichol’s insights into the mercenary politics of our time resonate far beyond the North Carolina state line.""―Rev. Dr. William J. Barber, II, Poor People’s Campaign and Timothy B. Tyson, author of The Blood of Emmett Till and Blood Done Sign My Name
