Writers Bloc Presents Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass)
TICKETS AVAILABLE AT THE DOOR TONIGHT (5/9) AT THE WADSWORTH
Writers Bloc Presents Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass).
Each ticket comes with a signed copy of Senator Warren's terrific new book, A Fighting Chance.
A "Sheriff of Wall Street" and a hero to many, Senator Elizabeth Warren's story (A Fighting Chance) is about a woman whose American Dream hopes to pay it forward for generations to come.
Washington works for those who can hire an army of lawyers and lobbyists, but it's not working for America's middle class. Senator Elizabeth Warren believes that the system is rigged against working families, so she went to Washington to fight, and what a fight it's been. While she's felt the wrath of Wall Street and of the financial industry, she gained the love and respect from Americans who appreciate her tooth and nail combat for millions of people who are just one illness, divorce or job loss away from financial ruin. Senator Warren is not only one of our nation's most influential women, the leading consumer protection advocate, and one of the foremost experts in bankruptcy in the country, but she is also the new Senior Senator from Massachusetts.
In her funny, rabble-rousing new book, A Fighting Chance, Warren talks about her remarkable story, from a struggling middle class family in Oklahoma, to a wife and mother by 22, to Professor of Law at Harvard University, and to Senior Senator from Massachusetts. This is her story entirely conversational and full of humor about family, elections, and her vision for giving every kid a fighting chance to succeed.
Launched into the national conversation about personal finance years before the 2008 financial crisis, Senator Warren's outspoken leadership and advocacy led to the creation of the United States Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to get the tricks and traps out of mortgages, credit cards, student loans and other financial services. In the aftermath of the 2008 financial meltdown, Warren served as Chair of the Congressional Oversight Panel to oversee the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) to protect taxpayers and hold Wall Street accountable. She ran against Senator Scott Brown in 2011 for the seat held for decades by Teddy Kennedy, and in 2012 was elected the first woman United States Senator from Massachusetts. She is a rabble-rouser and one of the more inspirational women leaders in the country today.
