It Takes Chutzpah: Fearlessly Fighting for Progressive Change

In today’s turbulent times, how do leaders boldly pave the way forward for progressive change? Join the Kennedy Institute for a conversation with Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) on his recent book It Takes Chutzpah chronicling his remarkable political career sponsoring some of the most consequential laws on civil rights, health care, pathways to economic opportunity, and protecting the environment.

In conversation with Jim Acosta, former CNN Anchor and Chief White House Correspondent, Sen. Wyden will tell the behind the scenes story on how these legislative battles were won and how each of us has the ability to fearlessly defy limitations for the betterment of our communities, schools, businesses, and lives.
