Synopsis

This is your country. Take it back.
When Bernie Sanders began his race for the presidency, he was just an Independent senator from the small of Vermont. His campaign had no money, no political organization, and it was taking on the entire Democratic Party establishment. But by the time Sanders’s campaign came to a close, it was clear that the pundits had gotten it wrong. Sanders had run one of the most consequential campaigns in the modern history of the country―receiving more than 13 million votes in primaries and caucuses throughout the country and winning twenty-two states. Most important, Sanders showed that the American people were prepared to take on corporate America and the 1 percent.
In Our Revolution, Sanders shares his personal experiences from the campaign trail and for the millions looking to continue the political revolution, he outlines a progressive economic, environmental, racial, and social justice agenda that will create jobs, raise wages, protect the environment, and provide health care for all―and ultimately transform our country and our world for the better. For him, the political revolution has just begun.

Review

2018 GRAMMY® Nominee for Best Spoken Word Album

"[Bernie] Sanders delivers charming humor, along with humble truths about losing elections and what he's learned from the campaign trail. Actor and activist Mark Ruffalo earnestly presents details of Sanders's work and ideas for a new America. Both Sanders and Ruffalo sound like they're directly addressing listeners, and hearing actual recordings of Sanders's speeches adds a further dimension to this essential work." -AudioFile Magazine

"Senator Sanders's gravelly voice and dramatic presentation are surely familiar to listeners. He reads with the same sincerity and earnestness he brought to audiences throughout his extraordinary primary campaign for president of the United States. A seasoned orator, he's particularly good at changing speed and intonation to emphasize the points he wants you to understand and absorb." ― Publishers Weekly
