Publisher's summary

*Nominated for a 2018 Grammy for spoken word album*

This program is read by the author and Mark Ruffalo, an award-winning actor, director, producer, and social activist.

When Bernie Sanders began his race for the presidency, it was considered by the political establishment and the media to be a "fringe" campaign, something not to be taken seriously. After all, he was just an independent senator from a small state with little name recognition. His campaign had no money, no political organization, and it was taking on the entire Democratic Party establishment.

By the time Sanders' campaign came to a close, however, it was clear that the pundits had gotten it wrong. Bernie had run one of the most consequential campaigns in the modern history of the country. He had received more than 13 million votes in primaries and caucuses throughout the country and won 22 states, and more than 1.4 million people had attended his public meetings. Most important, he showed that the American people were prepared to take on the greed and irresponsibility of corporate America and the 1 percent.

In Our Revolution, Sanders shares his personal experiences from the campaign trail, recounting the details of his historic primary fight and the people who made it possible. 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 started. The campaign may be over, but the struggle goes on.

Bernie Sanders ran as a Democratic candidate for president of the United States in 2015 and 2016. He served as mayor of Burlington, Vermont's largest city, for eight years before becoming the sole congressperson for the state in 1990. He was elected to the Senate in 2006 and is now the longest-serving Independent in the history of the Congress. He lives in Burlington, Vermont, with his wife, Jane, and has four children and seven grandchildren.

Mark Ruffalo is an award-winning actor, director, producer, and social activist. Known for high-profile roles in movies such as The Kids Are All Right (2010), The Normal Heart (2014), Foxcatcher (2015), and Spotlight (2015) as well as blockbusters like The Avengers (2012) and The Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015), he made his directorial debut with Sympathy for Delicious at the Sundance Film Festival in 2010. He was an ardent supporter of Senator Bernie Sanders' bid for the Democratic nomination for president.

Critic reviews

"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)

Truly a Revolutionary

Hard to believe that this man who cares so much is not our next President!! He is the only honest guy out their who actually cares for our nation and it's people! Thank you Bernie Sanders for giving us hope and leading the way and fighting injustice. Remarkable reading by Bernie and Mark

Take the good with the bad

Bernie did good narrating, the other guy does a bit of a disservice to the movement with his failure to maintain control of his emotions. He speaks too much with disgust and condescension...and his laughs...his laughs are a mediocre attempt to manage his breath that are often timed inappropriately.

Eye-opening but depressing

Any additional comments?

Full of well researched and informative discussion of various issues this country suffers.

However, it is at the same time depressing to realize how big corporations are really the ones in control. And there only agenda is high profits; period!

Mike's added snickering in his narration was a bit off-putting.

Great Audiobook!

I really enjoyed this audiobook! Senator Sanders is very easy to listen to and speaks in a very nice conversational tone. I am only half finished, but really enjoy the book so far!

MUST READ

This book should be required reading for everyone 16yo and older. Parents should read it to their children, as they learn to read etc. Folks should carry it with them to reference to others, I even believe we should place one in every nightstand, in every hotel room. Honestly I can't understand how anyone can listen to him and not be motivated to take part in "Our Revolution". There's no excuse to carry on business as usual any longer.

I recommend this book..

The only problem I had was the narrator at the mid part of the book (Mark Ruffalo). The book was very informative .

Wish I would have known

I wish I would've known the things that Bernie talks about in this fantastic book. it's really too bad that our current administration can provide no plan for the future of our nation. I am sad with the election results but find new hope in the future of our youth. Everyone should read this book especially Democrats.

The Evolution of a PEOPLE's representative

Would you listen to Our Revolution again? Why?

No. He stimulates people to action not reflection.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Bernie

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Bernie KNEW it was the PEOPLE who will carry the Revolution for a true Democracy rather than a Oligarchy.
