Two years later\, the “fast-rising Democratic star and determined critic of President Donald Trump\,” according to Politico’s Playbook 2017 “Power List\,” won reelection with more votes than any other member of the House. Jayapal\, co-chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus\, proved her progressive bonafides when she introduced the most comprehensive Medicare-for-all bill to Congress in February. \nBehind the story of Jayapal’s rise to political prominence lie over two decades of devoted advocacy on behalf of immigrants and progressive causes—and years of learning how to turn activism into public policy that serves all Americans. Use the Power You Have is Jayapal’s account of the path from sixteen-year-old Indian immigrant to grassroots activist\, state senator\, and now progressive powerhouse in Washington\, DC. \nWritten with passion and insight\, Use the Power You Have offers a wealth of ideas and inspiration for a new generation of engaged citizens interested in fighting back and making change\, whether in Washington or in their own communities. \n\nAbout the Author\n\n \n\n\n\n\nCongresswoman Pramila Jayapal represents Washington’s 7th District\, which encompasses most of Seattle and surrounding areas. The first Indian American woman in the House of Representatives\, Jayapal has spent nearly thirty years working internationally and domestically as an advocate for women’s\, immigrant\, civil\, and human rights. She lives in Seattle\, Washington.\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Novel Nights\n\nPart book club\, part celebration: a novel approach to the literary salon. \n\nWe write because we were readers first—and our love of reading great literature is what sustains us through long\, lonely hours at the writing desk. \nBut books don’t exist only in the solitude of our minds; they come alive in the conversations we have about them. \nAt Novel Nights\, you’ll delve into the depths of books in the company of fellow book-lovers and friends—all while supporting Hugo House.
