Team MARCH on The Rachel Maddow Show, and elsewhere in NYC!

Thanks to Rachel Maddow and her fantastic team for having us on her show a few days ago to discuss March: Book Two! Here's our segment, though I highly recommend first watching her previous segment about Gandhi's methods and tactics influencing a young John Lewis, perfectly setting the stage and context.

Afterwards, one of the producers snuck us in for a quick tour of the Saturday Night Live set! I managed to sneak on the band stage for a moment, absorbing the weight of both friends and musical heroes who've shared that platform. Absolutely mind-shredding!

We also did a discussion & signing at the Federal Reserve (!)-- here's a photo of Andrew Aydin ruling the school, tying ever-increasing student loan debt to further disenfranchisement of adults from activism, risk, homeownership, entrepreneurship, and generally moving forward as a people, citing the Fed's own report:

We also spoke to a few hundred talented students in Brooklyn-- and in a trip highlight, our opener was this band of elementary school students, slaying to a cover of The White Stripes' "Seven Nation Army":

That evening, we did another great discussion and signing at the Brooklyn Central Library, where I had the good fortune of running into old friends Aaron Cometbus and Joshua Peach. Thanks, everyone, for coming out to listen and discuss-- I really wish I could've stayed longer! 

Tomorrow night-- The Rachel Maddow Show!

Tomorrow night (Tuesday, April 7th), I'll be on MSNBC's The Rachel Maddow Show alongside my collaborators Rep. John Lewis and Andrew Aydin, discussing the ongoing March graphic novel saga. Tune in, and spread the word!

The next night, April 8th, we'll all be doing a discussion/ Q&A/ signing at the Brooklyn Central Library at 7 pm. It's free-- see you there!

Team MARCH in Bloomington, IN-- September 21st!

Here's Monroe County Public Library's official announcement that John Lewis, Andrew Aydin, and I are this year's "The Power Of Words" guest authors! It's an honor to bring the whole creative team back to the town where I live.

We'll be doing a free discussion, Q&A, and signing at IU Auditorium at 7:30 pm on September 21st, with additional early events for thousands of high schoolers and middle schoolers in the area, for whom our March saga has been introduced to the classroom.

More details as they unfold!
