Hais and Winograd Release New Book, "Millenial Majority"

Last night at a reception in our Washington DC headquarters, we celebrated the release of Morley Winograd and Mike Hais's third book, "Millenial Majority: How a New Coalition is Remaking American Politics."  Dozens of people mingled and talked to the authors, and we closed the evening with a presentation by Morley and Mike and a discussion lead by National Journal's Ron Brownstein.  For a video of the night, including their presentation and the discussion, visit here.

This subject of demographic shifts and realignment is one of NDN’s most consequential areas of thought leadership over the past decade.  Perhaps no other organization and network of thinkers has done more to identify, research and socialize how the changing demography of America has birthed a new and different kind of politics in the US. 

In 2002, our team did the first major poll of Latino voters ever released by a center-left group; in 2004, we pioneered the first center-left national advocacy campaign in the Spanish language, developing a new idiom for our values and politics; in 2006, along with Morley and Mike we introduced the concept of the Millennial generation to American politics, giving a generational understanding to the less accurate concept of “the youth vote;” in 2007 we wrote a landmark essay, “The 50 Year Strategy: A New Progressive Era” which more than any other publication spelled out in great detail the emergence of what Ron Brownstein has called the “Coalition of the Ascendent;” and in 2008, we along with noted author Tom Schaller, popularized the idea that a new Post Southern Strategy era of American politics was upon us, and more was possible for the center-left today than in any time since the 1930s.  

We're incredibly proud of this body of work, and significant far-sighted thought leadership of dozens of NDNers, collaborators and friends who helped bring these critical insights to so many.  The latest from Mike and Morley – the big arguments behind it – are compelling, provocative, important and full of hope.
