He is also the founder of Democracy in Color, a political media organization dedicated to race, politics, and the multicultural progressive New American Majority.

His new book, How We Win the Civil War, will be published on October 18, 2022. For more information, please visit: stevephillips.com Topics Covered: -President Biden said we are in a "battle for the nation's soul." -Democra, ts in particular, must recognize the urgency of the moment we're in as well as the nature of the fight we're in— -To win, progressives and Democrats must increase the allocation of time and financial resources to leaders and organizations with a proven winning game plan for turning out people of color in critical races. -Championing whiteness is what makes Trump powerful. -Ever since Abraham Lincoln was first elected president in 1860, people in this country have consistently underestimated the cultural appeal and political power of whiteness at every step of the way. -Many Americans are uncomfortable being explicit about the centrality and power of whiteness. But their persistence to remain silent and avoid discomfort will cost us our democracy. -Democrats, for their part, are hesitant and fearful of explicitly refuting these attacks for fear of losing support among white voters. -Democrats and progressives must recognize the true nature of our political reality. The civil war never ended. For 157 years, conservatives have used the Confederate battle plan to block efforts to foster a more equitable society. More on "How We Win The Civil War" In HOW WE WIN THE CIVIL WAR, Steve Phillips charts the way forward for progressives and people of color to lead the way to end this civil war, arguing that Democrats, in particular, must recognize the urgency of the moment we're in as well as the nature of the fight we're in—a contest between democracy and white supremacy left unresolved after the original Civil War. Phillips also spotlights the people, places, and organizations that recently defeated the modern-day Confederates and made meaningful progress toward making America a multiracial, multicultural democracy. Conventional wisdom about how Democrats win elections in the U.S. is wrong. Pursuing white swing voters is no longer a path to victory for Democrats and progressives because of permanent demographic changes across the country. Electoral victories in Georgia, Arizona, and Virginia are proof of that fact.    Support the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
