Nation National Affairs Correspondent John Nichols joined Katrina vanden Heuvel and had a vital conversation about the future of the fight for equality and justice. Watch the recording below.

Democrats once dreamed the biggest dreams: of thwarting the politics of hatred and defeating the threat of American fascism, of achieving economic and social and racial justice and peace and prosperity. This is history. But it need not be history alone. Could something like the New Deal be done again? Could it be done better? Could talk of a Green New Deal move from a speaker’s platform to the program of government and then to the reality of a nation?

Nation National Affairs Correspondent John Nichols offers possible answers in his hotly anticipated new book The Fight for the Soul of the Democratic Party.
