An evening with author Steve Phillips

We are thrilled to announce the inaugural event in All Souls new social justice author series: national bestselling author, columnist, and political commentator Steve Phillips talking about his new book, How We Win the Civil War: Securing a Multiracial Democracy and Ending White Supremacy for Good. Phillips first book, Brown Is the New White: How the Demographic Revolution Has Created a New American Majority, was a New York Times bestseller and established Phillips as a powerful national voice. In his new book, Steve Phillips warns that the Confederates never stopped fighting the Civil War, that conservatives are taking full advantage of this reality, and that those in denial imperil our democracy. He charts the way forward in the post-Trump era, arguing that progressives must recognize the true nature of the fight we’re in order to create a truly multiracial democracy and rid our politics of white supremacy, once and for all.

This is the first of a new speaker series supported by the All Souls Church Beckner Advancement Fund, which provides grants for social justice organizing both within and beyond the congregation and in the community. The Fund’s work is grounded in the Unitarian Universalist spiritual beliefs in the inherent worth and dignity of all people. We are committed to dismantling racism and other forms of oppression in individuals and institutions. Proceeds from these events will benefit the ongoing mission and ministries of All Souls. We hope you’ll attend, and please invite others to join you!
