Tickets on sale for An Evening with Barney Frank

CO-SPONSORED BY THE DEMOCRATIC WOMEN’S CLUB & THE DIVERSITY CENTER

at Peace United Church
900 High Street, Santa Cruz

Join us for an unforgettable evening with one of America’s smartest, feistiest, and funniest politicians, Barney Frank.
In Frank’s candid and witty political memoir, Frank: A Life in Politics from the Great Society to Same-Sex Marriage, we find out how a disheveled, intellectually combative gay Jew with a trademark New Jersey-Massachusetts accent, became one of the most powerful and effective members of Congress.

In Frank, he chronicles his lifelong struggle against inequality, which culminated in co-writing the most significant Wall Street regulations since the Great Depression. Barney Frank continues to be an important voice for economic fairness at a time when many of the regulations he authored are being challenged.

With his trademark directness and insight, Frank explores the emotional toll of living in the closet and how he became the first member of Congress to voluntarily disclose his homosexuality. He also details the favors, grudges, and fears that shape a legislator’s career. From the Clinton impeachment to the economic meltdown of 2008 to the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, Frank’s words and deeds mattered more to our nation than anyone could have imagined.

TICKET PACKAGES: $30.45, includes two tickets to the event and one copy of Frank: A Life in Politics from the
Great Society to Same Sex Marriage. Available, while supplies last, at Bookshop Santa Cruz and on our website.
