Two years later, the "fast-rising Democratic star and determined critic of President Donald Trump," according to Politico's Playbook 2017 "Power List," won reelection with more votes than any other member of the House. Jayapal, co-chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, proved her progressive bonafides when she introduced the most comprehensive Medicare-for-all bill to Congress in February. Behind the story of Jayapal's rise to political prominence lie over two decades of devoted advocacy on behalf of immigrants and progressive causes-and years of learning how to turn activism into public policy that serves all Americans. Use the Power You Have is Jayapal's account of the path from sixteen-year-old Indian immigrant to grassroots activist, state senator, and now progressive powerhouse in Washington, DC. Written with passion and insight, Use the Power You Have offers a wealth of ideas and inspiration for a new generation of engaged citizens interested in fighting back and making change, whether in Washington or in their own communities."-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Jayapal, Pramila, $d 1965- 610 10 $a United States. $b House $b House $v Biography. 650 0 $a Women legislators $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Legislators $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a East Indian American women $v Biography. 650 0 $a Women immigrants $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Progressivism (United States politics) 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 1989- 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 7 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909061524.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20220824011148.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20210226010140.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20210105034626.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20200915010714.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20200730010614.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20200710010334.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=AEDF2242C27211EAA613155897128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
