The November 2020 US election was arguably the most consequential since the 1860 election of Abraham Lincoln-and grassroots leaders and organizers played crucial roles in the contention for the presidency and control of both houses of Congress.

Power Concedes Nothingtells the stories behind a victory that won both the White House and the Senate and powered progressive candidates to new levels of influence. It describes the on-the-ground efforts that mobilized a record-breaking turnout by registering new voters and motivating an electorate both old and new. In doing so it charts a viable path to victory for the vital contests upcoming in 2022 and 2024.

Reviews for Power Concedes Nothing: How Grassroots Organizing Wins Elections

Thanks to the contributors and editors of this immensely valuable collection, the lessons gleaned from an array of successful organizing strategies will not be lost to the historical amnesia that often claims such local but transformative work. - Angela Y. Davis, Distinguished Professor Emerita, UC Santa Cruz Fierce contributors offer us battle-tested wisdom for the struggle ahead. - Bonnie Castillo, Executive Director, National Nurses United The broad center-left coalition to defeat Trump in 2020 was an artful display of strategic unity and tireless mass mobilization. These writers give invaluable insights into how that victory was won... - Barbara Ransby, author of Ella Baker and the Black Freedom Movement An antidote to the sort of superficial gloss that often passes for political analysis. - Manuel Pastor, director, USC Equity Research Institute
