SUMMARY:Daniel Squadron
DESCRIPTION:BOOK TALK & SIGNING\n\n\n\nDaniel Squadron\n\n\n\nJoin us for a Book Talk with Daniel Squadron\, author of The Fourth Branch\, at noon on Sunday\, July 12th\, followed by questions\, conversation\, and signing. “The Fourth Branch will help us all do what we can with more clarity and impact. By explaining how power works in our country\, and how we can be most effective\, this book gives us a roadmap to improving America on every level.” – Sarah Jessica Parker \n\n\n\nMany Americans who care about politics are exhausted — and spending their energy in exactly the wrong place. The fights that determine minimum wage\, healthcare access\, school curriculums\, voting rights\, and the shape of Congress itself are happening in state legislatures\, decided by lawmakers most people can’t name\, in sessions most people don’t know are happening. Washington is loud\, but state capitals are where the work gets done. \n\n\n\nExposing this gap—between where political attention goes and where political power actually lives—is the heart of Daniel Squadron’s THE FOURTH BRANCH: How State Government Can Save Our Union\, and it has never been more urgent.  \n\n\n\nSquadron\, a former New York State Senator and co-founder of The States Project (the largest state legislative organization in the country)\, delivers a powerful and refreshing case for how politics can move beyond the endless churn of Washington. Part handbook\, part history\, and part personal narrative\, THE FOURTH BRANCH opens readers’ eyes to the power structures of state legislatures\, the overlooked arm of government that has done more harm and more good than any other in recent years.  \n\n\n\nMost crucially\, with the 2026 midterms approaching\, THE FOURTH BRANCH unpacks exactly how the states are the last and best line of defense for preserving competitive elections — and\, through them\, the future shape of Congress and the presidency itself. Squadron offers a galvanizing framework for getting involved\, and a strategic counter to decades of conservative investment from groups like the Heritage Foundation\, the architects of Project 2025.  \n\n\n\nAs Sarah Jessica Parker writes in the book’s foreword\, “THE FOURTH BRANCH will help us all do what we can with more clarity and impact. By explaining how power works in our country\, and how we can be most effective\, this book gives us a roadmap to improving America on every level.”  \n\n\n\nTIMELY DISCUSSION POINTS IN THE BOOK INCLUDE:  \n\n\n\n· Trump’s obsession with state lawmakers: he’s been calling them and calling them out consistently\, completely unlike how any Dem president has ever behaved. Squadron traces exactly why he’s doing it\, what it reveals about where power actually sits\, and why it’s so unlike anything we’ve seen from the other side.  \n\n\n\n· State legislatures are increasingly the pipeline to higher office: figures like Talarico and McMorrow are part of a broader trend the book fully maps out.  \n\n\n\n· The Dobbs origin story everyone ignores: The Dobbs decision is widely remembered as a Supreme Court moment. Squadron reminds us it was actually a state legislative moment — and that the same dynamic is about to play out with the Voting Rights Act.  \n\n\n\n· 75% of Paris Climate Agreement goals are achievable by state action alone — regardless of who’s in the White House. By the time Trump exited Paris a second time in 2025\, 24 states representing a majority of the U.S. economy had already committed to their own climate targets. \n\n\n\n· 90% of law enforcement operates under state authority. 87% of inmates are in state or local facilities. Criminal justice has always been a state issue — Washington is largely beside the point.  \n\n\n\n· Harvard’s leverage against Trump exists because of states: 85% of public university operations funding comes from state governments\, not the federal government.  \n\n\n\n· Flipping a congressional map can cost $200M+. Flipping the legislature that draws it costs one-tenth of that. After the 2025 Texas flood that killed 27 children at Camp Mystic\, Governor Abbott used the emergency session not just for disaster relief — but to redraw congressional maps mid-decade at Trump’s personal direction.  \n\n\n\nFURTHER EARLY PRAISE FOR THE FOURTH BRANCH  \n\n\n\n“A primer on the leverage of politics and power\, working from the bottom up rather than the top down… Squadron spotlights the ability of the people to change their political landscape\, describing the power wielded by those closest to home.”  \n\n\n\n—Library Journal  \n\n\n\n“Much and more has been said about how to effectively organize and deliver for the causes that matter most to our neighbors. Squadron aptly recognizes how ‘We the People’ must localize our work to truly effect change and impact our communities—and it all begins with state legislatures and local races.”  \n\n\n\n—Congresswoman Sarah McBride  \n\n\n\n“If you feel powerless to change politics or policies you care about\, The Fourth Branch should give you hope. Daniel Squadron shows us that getting involved in state and local politics is easier and more rewarding than many of us realize—and often accomplishes much more.” —Jessamyn Conrad\, author of What You Should Know About Politics . . . But Don’t  \n\n\n\nAbout Daniel Squadron  \n\n\n\nDaniel Squadron is a former aide to Senator Chuck Schumer\, former New York State Senator\, and co-founder of The States Project\, The States Forum and Future Now\, where he is President. He’s always lived in New York City.  \n\n\n\nAbout The States Project  \n\n\n\nThe States Project connects the importance of state legislatures to every aspect of our lives\, while building communities to have the biggest possible impact to win state-level governing power and wield it to achieve the American promise.  \n\n\n\nLearn more at statesproject.org

SUMMARY:In the Wings
DESCRIPTION:EXHIBIT & ARTIST RECEPTION\n\n\n\nIn the Wings\n\n\n\nIn celebration of the Livingston Fringe Festival\, IN THE WINGS invites artists to explore the world behind the curtain. IN THE WINGS will open August 28th with an opening reception during the Livingston Art Walk. Please join us on Friday\, August 28th\, for artist meet-and-greets\, new exhibits\, and refreshments from 5:30 pm to 8 pm. \n\n\n\nFrom rehearsals and costume changes to stagehands\, set builders\, lighting cues\, script notes\, dressing rooms\, and quiet moments before the lights come up\, this exhibition celebrates the unseen architecture of performance. We are seeking artwork inspired by the people\, spaces\, rituals\, and transformations that live just outside the spotlight. \n\n\n\nPainters\, photographers\, printmakers\, sculptors\, mixed-media artists\, and installation artists are invited to submit work that captures theater as process—its labor\, vulnerability\, anticipation\, collaboration\, and becoming. \n\n\n\nWhat stories unfold in the wings? Who makes the magic possible? What happens before an audience ever takes their seat? \n\n\n\nClick here to view the Call for Art
